| Abstract | Abstract. Temporal Object System (TOS) handles the structural and stature changes to an object in a uniform and temporal fashion. The TOS takes a hybrid approach of the class-based and prototype-based approaches in modeling the real-word objects and knowledge sharing among the objects. This hybrid approach. makes it flexible than the two approaches i.e. the classbased approach and the prototype-based approach. In this paper we propose a model of knowledge sharing mechanism Share-leno (SK) for object hierarchy of the TOS. We also formally prove that the Share-kno (SK) model encapsulates more knowledge than the inheritance hierarchy and delegation hierarchy models proposed by Stein.
