Abstract :
An object-oriented framework is presented that supports multiple concurrent representations of objects, including their semantics and their interrelationships with other objects. The framework is based primarily on two object classes, the building-level object class (BLOC) and the representation object class (ROC). The two classes, BLOC and ROC, along with a method for defining relationships between these classes, provide support for multiple concurrent representations
