KParts - Definition and Overview

In computer programming, KParts is the name of the component framework for the KDE desktop environment. An individual component is called a KPart. KParts are analogous to Bonobo components in GNOME. Konsole is available as a KPart and is used in applications like Konqueror and Kate. Good examples about how KParts can be used are Konqueror, which uses for example KWord part to display documents and Kontact, which embeds kdepim applications under one roof.
