  In the theory of operator algebras, a C*-algebra A that turns out to be small in this sense tradition- ally is enlarged to its (universal) enveloping von Neumann algebra A . This works well since von Neumann algebras are in many respects richer and, from the Banach space point of view, A is nothing other than the second dual space of A.
