refering tables in two part notation means what?

can anybody tell me, what is Two Part Notation? or does it means adding alias to the table following by the table name?

Thanks in advance,

Mahesh

Normally there are four parts to refer to a database object.

ServerName.DatabaseName.OwnerName.ObjectName

So I guess the two-part naming refers to Ownername.tablename, like dbo.someTable
