Abstract :
This paper discusses the details of the OpenAccess API standard and reference database, such as, Embedded Module Hierarchy and oaConstraint class hierarchy through which foundry rules are represented in OpenAccess. It provides details on performance and discusses native support for multi-threading. Comparative results are presented on the merits of compressing the database. It also discusses the OpenAccess standardization process and levels of compatibility between releases that are part of the standardization approach.
