Over the past years, most of the research dealing with the object multiple representation and evolution has proposed to enrich the monolithic vision of the classical object approach in which an object belongs to one hierarchy class. In databases, much work has been done towards extending models with advanced tools such as view technology, schema evolution support, multiple classification, role modelling and viewpoints. In particular, the integration of the viewpoint mechanism to the conventional object-oriented data model gives it flexibility and allows one to improve the modelling power of objects. The viewpoint paradigm refers to the multiple description, the distribution, and the evolution of object. Also, it can be an undeniable contribution for a distributed design of complex databases. The motivation of this paper is to define an object data model integrating viewpoints in databases and to present a federated database architecture integrating multiple viewpoint sources following a local-as-extended-view data integration approach.

“…In recent years, much interest has been shown in the viewpoint paradigm. This takes on various meanings according to how it's studied from the diverse standpoints of the different fields of computer science, eg software engineering (Charrel, et al, 1993), knowledge representation (Dekker, 1994) , database systems (Debrauwer, 1998) , web applications (Gergatsoulis, et al, 2001), requirements engineering (Menzies, et al, 1999) and complex systems modelling (Carn, 1992). Several terms have been assigned to this concept such as roles (Pernici, 1990), aspects (Richardson & Schwartz, 1991), perspectives (Sciore, 1989), dimensions (Gergatsoulis, et al, 2001), and viewpoints (Benchikha & Boufaida, 1998) (Charrel, et al, 1993).…”

The viewpoint concept has received widespread attention recently. Its integration into a data model improves the flexibility of the conventional object-oriented data model and allows one to improve the modelling power of objects. The viewpoint paradigm can be used as a means of providing multiple descriptions of an object and as a means of mastering the complexity of current database systems enabling them to be developed in a distributed manner. The contribution of this paper is twofold: to define an object data model integrating viewpoints in databases and to present a federated database system integrating multiple sources following a local-asextended-view approach.

“…In the computer science area, the concept of viewpoint, also called perspective, takes various significance according to its access in the different fields in particular in software engineering [9], in knowledge representation [12,24], in databases [11,20], in complex systems modelling [10], etc. Generally, we are interesting in the viewpoint concept since one designs multi-users applications.…”

The opening of the databases towards the new applications of increased complexity requires to re-examine the way of designing the database conceptual schema. Indeed, it would be desirable that the schema can be a specification that takes account into several points of view. Each point of view represents an aspect of the data description that is held by an independent database known as partial. This process confers a decentralised vision of the conceptual schema. Various models and mechanisms of views even less of viewpoints were developed, in particular within the framework of the object oriented databases. We focus on the basic concepts presented by the two approaches for the general architecture of MultiViewDataBase system, a system of federated databases which supports the concept of viewpoint. This last, on the one hand, allows to control the difficulty of the complex system development. On the other hand, it contributes to the solving of the problems involved in the schema integration in federated database systems.
