In engineering applications, multiple copies of object descriptions have to coexist in a single database. This paper proposes a scheme that enables users to explicitly deal with these object versions. After introducing a basic version model, the problem of 'rerouting' interobject references upon the creation of new versions is solved by providing generic references and user-specific environments. Finally, logical version clusters are introduced that allow for the meaningful grouping of versions. The paper concludes with some remarks on implementation and a comparison with other approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
A language to support the incremental design of the conceptual schemata of data bases is presented. Abstractions are expressed in terms of highevel constructs and operations on these abstractions allow the definition ...
