In [[object-oriented programming]]<!-- and related fields, like [[OODMBS]],--> '''encapsulation''' is used to refer to two related but distinct notions:
* A language mechanism for restricting access to some of the [[object (computer science)|object]]'s components.<ref>[[John C. Mitchell]], ''Concepts in programming languages'', Cambridge University Press, 2003, ISBN 0521780985, p.522</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Pierce|first=Benjamin|authorlink=Benjamin C. Pierce|title=[[Types and Programming Languages]]|publisher=MIT Press|date=2002|id=ISBN 0-262-16209-1}} p. 266</ref>
* A language construct that facilitates the bundling of data with the methods operating on that data.<ref>Wm. Paul Rogers, [http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2001/jw-0518-encapsulation.html?page=9 ''Encapsulation is not information hiding''], JavaWorld.com, 05/18/01</ref><ref>Thomas M.
