Abstract

Minstrel-ODM is a basic office data model that supports the filing and retrieval of office data. It is based on a modelling paradigm where office data is viewed as existing in the form of office objects and the modelling formalism is of the semantic (hierarchy) data model kind. In developing the model, ideas have been drawn from work by others on semantic data models and functional data models in particular. The model was developed as part of ESPRIT project 59 entitled “Models for Information Storage and Retrieval”. Currently the model is being implemented as a prototype, which will be used to investigate user interface techniques. Further research on office data models is planned and Minstrel-ODM will be modified and extended as appropriate.
