All SAGA specifications are defined in (a flavor of) [[Interface description language|IDL]], and thus object oriented, but language neutral.

Nevertheless, different implementations of these language bindings have a relatively coherent API definition (in particular, the different Java implementations share the same abstract API interface classes).
