Initially and most commonly, these objects are people, and the groupings or spaces that people use to enable communication. Loosely patterned after HTTP, WhoDP implements a publish-and- subscribe model, with objects' location and identity specified via URLs. A WhoDP program ''subscribes'' to locate and receive information about an object; a WhoDP program ''publishes'' to control the location and visible state of an object.}, }
