Mapping of EXPRESS, which is object-favored language to represent IFC model, to Relational Database is not straightforward. Model size can be much bigger and data can be missed through process. However mapping to the object concept added database, such as Object Oriented Database or Object Relational Database, may be simpler and have lots of advantages. This study investigates previous IFC mapping studies, concept of Relational Database and Object Oriented Database, and mapping methodology to Object Relational Database using object.

This paper proposes to study on the interoperation between Relation Database(RDB) and Object-oriented database(OODB). It also describes some Characteristics of OODB and introduces the UniSQL system. This paper suggests a new systemcalled URODB (Unifide Relation & Object-oriented database) that will overcome the limits of OODB, improve the shortcomings of the present RDB, and increase the interchangeability in particular.

Views are essential in providing logical data independence for database systems. Object views in object-oriented/object-relational databases have requirements quite different from those of relational databases due to support for object-oriented concepts. Although many commercial object-oriented/object-relational database systems support object views, implementation techniques have not been discussed sufficiently in the literature. In this paper, we devise a technique for implementing views in object-oriented/object-relational databases and apply it to the ODYSSEUS object-relational database system. We first analyze the requirements of object views. Next, to implement object views, we extend the existing query modification algorithm that has been proposed for implementing views in relational databases. Next, we compare the features of the proposed object view with those of object views in commercial object-relational database systems. It is shown that the proposed object view supports all object-oriented concepts such as object identifiers, inheritance, methods, and composite objects, while existing object views support part of them. Last, we propose detailed techniques for implementing the extended query modification algorithm in the ODYSSEUS object-relational database system.

The complex documentation involved in power system analysis software require a well-defined and friendly database system. We have developed an object-oriented database management system for power system analysis, and have described load flow analysis and transient stability analysis using object-oriented database(OODB). Database management systems are widely used and achieve high reliability of data management in the engineering fields. However relational database system have shortcomings in application to power system analysis. ill relational database, the data model is too simple for modeling complex data and database languages are very different from programming languages. Object-oriented techniques are sufficiently powerful to support data-modeling requirements of GUI applications. The GUI is implemented using C++ on a MS windows platform. The OODB supports data modeling requirements of GUI applications and the performance is well acceptable for Gill applications.

In this paper, we present a knowledge-based object-oriented spatial database system called KOBOS. A knowledge-based approach is introduced to the object-oriented spatial database system for data modeling and approximate query answering. For handling the structure of spatial objects and the approximate spatial operators, we propose three levels of object-oriented data model: (1) a spatial shape model; (2) a spatial object model; (3) an internal description model. We use spatial type abstraction hierarchies(STAHs) to provide the range of the approximate spatial operators. We then propose SOQL, a spatial object-oriented query language. SOQL provides an integrated mechanism for the graphical display of spatial objects and the retrieval of spatial and aspatial objects. To support an efficient hybrid query evaluation, we use the top-down spatial query processing method.

The modeling components in the object-oriented paradigm are based on the object, not the structured function or procedure. That is, in the past, when one wanted to solve problems, he would describe the solution procedure. However, the object-oriented paradigm includes the concepts that solve problems through interaction between objects. The object-oriented model is constructed by describing the relationship between object to represent the real world. As in object-oriented model the relationships between objects increase, the control of objects caused by their insertions, deletions, and modifications comes to be very complex and difficult. Because the loss of the referential integrity happens and the object reusability is reduced. For these reasons, the necessity of the control of objects and the visualization of the relationships between them is required. In order that we design a database necessary to implement Object Browser that has functionalities to visualize Java objects and to perform the query processing in Java object modeling, in this paper we show the processes for EER modeling on Java object and its transformation into relational database schema. In addition we implement Java Object Parser that parses Java object and inserts the parsed results into the implemented database.

In this paper, we compare several methods for implementing a VHDL design database through a case study on VHDL tool development system. We implemented three versions of the VHDL design database which the VHDL tool development system is based on. The first version was coded in the C programming language following value-oriented paradigm. The second one was coded in the C++ programming language following object-oriented paradigm. The third one was implemented using an existing object-oriented database. Based on our experience, we present quantitatively the pros and cons of each implementation method. The value-oriented version was most difficult to implement but showed good performance. Compared to the value- oriented version, the C++ version was twice as easy to implement and showed about the same performance. Using an existing object-oriented database allowed easiest implementation but resulted in a 1.5 to 6 times slower version.

In this paper, we present an object-based modeling and language for an object-oriented spatio-temporal database system. For handling the structure of spatio-temporal objects and the spatio-temporal operators, we propose the two layers of data modeling: a spatio-temporal object model (STOM) and an spatio_temporal internal description model (STIM). We then propose STOQL, a spatio-temporal object-oriented query language. STOQL provides an integrated mechanism for the graphical display of spatial objects and the retrieval of spatio-temporal and aspatial objects.

The value of XML as electronic documents is increasing nowadays. The XML document has properties of semistructured data. It can be modeled as object-oriented model which can be easily adapted by object-oriented database. For storing XML documents to conventional database system, extracting schema information from the DTD of a XML document has been studied for several years. In this paper we store XML documents into object-oriented database, which preserve the semantics of the documents. We can store and query by OQL and make applications by C++ and make applications by C++ binding which is the access method of object-oriented database. Therefore, existing database applications can be used without modification.

Nowadays an information exchange on XML such as B2B electronic commerce is spreading. Therefore the systematic and stable management mechanism for storing the exchanged Information is needed. For this goal there are many research activities for connection between XML application and relational database. But because XML data have hierarchical structures and relational database can store only flat-structured data, we need to store XML data in object-oriented database that support hierarchical structure. Accordingly the modeling methodology for storing XML data in object-oriented database is needed. In order to build good quality application systems, modeling is an important first step. In 1997, the OMG adopted the UML as its standard modeling language. Since industry has warmly embraced UML, its popularity should become more important in the future. So a design methodology based on UML is need to develop efficiently XML applications. In this paper, we propose a unified design methodology for XML applications based on object- oriented database using UML. To this goal, first we introduce a XML modeling methodology to design W3C XML schema using UML and second we propose data modeling methodology for object-oriented database schema to store efficiently XML data in object-oriented databases.
