Abstract :
The paper describes the access to a database of prosthetic parts using an information sharing system. The prosthetic parts modeled are made of ceramic materials. The prosthetic parts are a femoral head, a cup, and a cup and head device. The information about the prosthetic parts is based on a feature based model and is stored in a relational database. The model for the information sharing system is object oriented. The relational database is accessed remotely from the object oriented model using gateways
