===OLE 2.0===

OLE 2.0 was the next evolution of OLE, sharing many of the same goals as version 1.0, but was re-implemented on top of the COM instead of using VTBLs directly. New features were [[OLE Automation|OLE automation]], [[drag-and-drop]], [[in-place activation]] and [[COM Structured Storage|structured storage]]. Monikers evolved from OLE 1 object names, and provided a hierarchical object and resource naming system similar to [[URI|URLs or URIs]], which were independently invented. Windows now has merged the two technologies supporting a URL Moniker type, and a Moniker URL scheme. OLE 2.0 introduced [[UUID]] to label API objects.<ref>Advanced Windows (The Developer's Guide to the Win32 API for Windows NT 3.5 and Windows 95)</ref>
