"binding is the creation of a simple reference to something that is larger and more complicated and used frequently." than what ? Although I study CS I completly do not understand that article.
Ah, there seems to be another type of binding, as mentioned/described at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/3405/oasis-sstc-saml-bindings-1.1.pdf which i located in SAML 1.1.

In computer science, binding is the creation of a simple reference to something that is larger and more complicated and used frequently.
When talking about bindings to allow access to something defined externally from a given programming language, the bound object is not necessarily more complex or larger, nor does it implies that it is used frequently. If there is no binding, you can not access the external object at all. However, there is no relation that implies that, since a binding is done, that it must be used frequently.
For example, there are some bindings that allow Python to access functions offered by the QT framework. A programmer may only use the basic functions provided by Python and never use the QT functionw even if they are available with to the bindings.

I wonder if this page would be better as a disambiguation page. ( Wikipedia is not a jargon guide.) What's the benefit of summarizing all these uses of "binding" here? Certain kinds of binding are certainly notable. However, are there any sources that substantiate binding's notability, in computing, in general? -- Pnm ( talk) 04:36, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
