Abstract

The success and acceptance of reuse tools and libraries depends on their integration into existing software development environments. However, the addition of large libraries of reusable components to software design databases only exacerbates the problem of design data management. Object-oriented databases originated to meet the requirements of design data management that relational databases could not satisfy. This paper describes a semantic data model for an object-oriented database supporting an integrated Computer Aided Software Engineering environment (CASE). The data model promotes reuse by providing objects that match program design requirements to existing components in the reuse library.
