“…For this purpose, database models Cactis [lo], Trait [4], I F 0 [2], GSM [ll], FDM [22], SAM* [24], N F 2 model [MI, IQL [3] and 3DIS [9] are more suitable due to their capability of representing structural and behavioural information relating to the design object. These models are appropriate for describing entities in the software engineering environment [16], computer integrated manufacturing [24] and computer aided design [15, 18, 91. In the paper the, Construction database model (CDM) is presented. The CDM is intended for conceptual level modelling and manipulation of design data.…”

The paper presents a Construction Database Model (CDM) used f o r the conceptual level modelling of design objects. A primary intention of the CDM model is modelling hierarchically structured objects and construction dependencies among objects. CDM is an attribute based data model. The CDM model represents various abstractions identified in the semantic database models GSM, IFO, SAM* and FDM by means of attributes. To distinguish between different abstractions, the notion of attribute role is introduced. Special attention is paid to the representationof derived properties of the object. They are described b y means of a constructor, that can be compared to derived attributes as defined in [lo, 4, 22, 81. The constructor enables the description and reevaluation of the design object construction process. The CDM is used as a data model f o r the storage system Cons-Base, designed for storing data in C A D applications.
