....the data in memory in a self describing format, converting the data as it is moved. ffl Use object oriented programming techniques Tag each data item and at run time, for each item, determine on a per access basis the format of the item and whether it needs to be converted. A system called Agora[1] supported a heterogeneous data environment. The mechanism was to limit the set of scalar types to that supported by DEC s VAX computer; and to always convert the types when they were moved via the network to some other machine. This approach penalizes sharing of data and limits the data types ....
