Abstract
Object-oriented database systems are one of the more promising concepts for database support for engineering applications. In the literature two levels of object-orientation are distinguished: structural and the behavioral object orientation. A structurally object-oriented database system merely supports the representation of objects by providing expressive data modelling constructs. The behaviorally object-oriented systems go beyond this: Aside from the structural representation they also provide language concepts to model the behavior of objects.
