ABSTRACT
This chapter wraps up the book with some peripheral OODA issues, including acknowledgement of preceding ideas, history, and terminology. A number of connections between OODA and Object-Oriented Programming are established. Relationships between OODA and the parallel research areas of Symbolic Data Analysis and Compositional Data Analysis are also explored. The former simultaneously addresses the analysis of multiple types of data objects, illustrated by an example. In the latter context, a large number of methods for analyzing probability vectors as data objects have been developed. Other related research areas are also discussed.
