Abstract

In this paper we propose an object-oriented model for designinghypermedia applications. As the object-oriented paradigm allows complex anduser-defined types, nonconventional and nonatomic attributes, we can takeadvantage of these capabilities, not only for information modelling, but also for providing alternative ways for accessing information.A query language is then presented; it is based on an Object-Oriented Database System query language. It combines features of object-oriented databases queries and primitives for hypermedia navigation. The language offers the possibility of querying both the application-domain information, and allowing the designers to obtain information about the schema of the application.We present some examples of the use of the object-oriented model and the query language.
