No, VOP is a standard that defines things like how applications
can be loaded to and managed on smart cards, e.g. for JavaCards.
>What is VOP "more" than OpenCard ? Is it "more" ?
VOP is an on-card standard, while OCF is a standard interface for
programming off-card applications in Java.
For example, we used OCF on the PC to access VOP Compliant Java Cards.
>If not: what the hell is Visa Open Plarform ? :-)
Look at the Visa Pages in the Internet, I guess they have some
overview there.

Subject: [OCF] OpenCard/JavaCard vs. Visa Open Platform
Dear all,
although this is mentioned in the OpenCard FAQ, I do not understand
the difference in concept between OpenCard with a JavaCard and
Visa Open Platform.
Is Visa Open Platform just an "extended" OpenCard with defined
Smartcard-capabilities ?
What is VOP "more" than OpenCard ? Is it "more" ?
If not: what the hell is Visa Open Plarform ? :-)
Maybe this is a philosophic question ?
Regards,
Erik
