Abstract :
Due to the close similarity between the common forms of ontology specification and classes in object-oriented systems, a set of object-oriented classes in a domain may provide the skeleton of the ontology of the domain. An object-oriented design for phase diagram databases has been made with special attention to this. Through the description of the analysis and coding of phase diagrams, the nature of the task of ontology construction is illustrated
