....another underlying model, such as the relational [HEUER88] In this manner the object oriented paradigm is used as an access mechanism or language. It is not uncommon for the model to revolve around a specific integration problem. Examples of access to patient medical information may be found in [WILLIA94] and [RAMIRE94] Williams claims all patient information is able to be represented by a set of quadruples of the form patient id, parameter, value, time . Such a representation is specific to the problem domain and may not be applicable to other non patient oriented domains. If the database ....

....it presumes that all external databases are managed using powerful general purpose DBMSs. Furthermore, the assumption is that these databases are relational [BHP92] However, many environments have databases that are not managed by a general purpose DBMS including: defense [AMR94] medicine [WH94] telecommunications [CD93] geophysics [DSH94] molecular biology and genomics [Kar94, Ald93, SR94] chemistry [RL85] and materials science [HS91] Databases in these environments are often formatted files containing large data sets that may include historical data (e.g. telephone customer ....
