+  <modulesummary>The CosNaming service is a collection of interfaces that together define the naming service.</modulesummary>
+  <description>
+    <p>The naming service provides  the principal mechanism for clients to find 
+      objects in an ORB based world. The naming service provides an initial naming
+      context that functions as the root context for all names. Given this context 
+      clients can navigate in the name space. </p>
+    <p>Types that are declared on the CosNaming level are:</p>
+    <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+typedef string Istring;
+struct NameComponent {
+      Istring id;  
+      Istring kind;
+};
+  
+typedef sequence <NameComponent> Name;
+  
+enum BindingType {nobject, ncontext};
+  
+struct Binding {
+      Name    binding_name;
+      BindingType binding_type;
+};
+
+typedef sequence <Binding> BindingList;
+    ]]></code>
+    <p>To get access to the record definitions for the structs use:
+      <c>-include_lib("orber/COSS/CosNaming.hrl").</c>.</p>
+    <p>Names are not an ORB object but the can be structured in components as seen by 
+      the definition above. There are no requirements on names so the service can support 
+      many different conventions and standards.</p>
+    <p>There are two different interfaces supported in the service:</p>
+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item>NamingContext</item>
+      <item>BindingIterator</item>
+    </list>
+    <p>IDL specification for CosNaming:</p>
