Abstract: Formal specifications are difficult to read.Executable specifications allow to see the behavior of the specified objects and help the domain specialist to detect errors quickly. We present here a method which allows to write axiomatic specifications which can be executed and discuss the limitations in expressive power imposed by the restriction to constructive axioms and how it can be circumvented. The method results from practical efforts to formalize the meaning of object types for Geographic ... (Update)
