Abstract
Database management system can support the various aspects of the construction process. Study of the requirements for such a database system has led the authors to the conclusion that the most appropriate abstract data model for construction data is that of object-oriented data. To study the appropriateness of this model, they have developed the specific example of a simple building with components specified as a hierarchy of object classes. The example shows the importance of the concepts of inheritance, aggregation, and generalization in modeling construction data.<>
