Abstract :
The authors present a data model for design representation. BEPPO (Basic, Efficient, Portable, Persistent Objects) provides a data model, schema language, and schema invariant programming interface geared towards the representation of arbitrary design data. Its domain invariant concepts and well-defined interfaces to applications and to the underlying storage manager make it suitable as a flexible basis for design data storage and manipulation in a CAD framework. BEPPO served as a vehicle to implement CFIs Design Representation Programming Interface
