Melding software processes into software object databases

A model was designed to describe various software objects, such as management data, design documents, and software modules. One of the features of the model is its ability to meld software processes into software object databases. In the model, software objects are divided into two primitive types: relationships and entities. A relationship class declaration consists of a class name associated with a list of attributes, some of which may be declared as flowing across the relationship. Real-world objects are modeled by entities. An entity class declaration consists of a class name associated with attribute and port declarations. Examples are given to show the model´s performance
