Abstract
Unlike the relational model, there is no universally accepted object-oriented data model. This has led to systems being defined in an ad-hoc manner, with the resultant difficulty of determining exactly what features are provided in any particular system as well as how these features are interpreted. We define an implementation-level data model which supports all the essential features required of any object-oriented database in a uniform, consistent and extensible way. User-level data models can be implemented on top of such a system, or can be compared in terms of it.
