ODM: an object oriented data model for design databases

We describe an object oriented data model called ODM which integrates functional data models and the actor model of computation. ODM attempts to increase the productivity of the design systems by providing modeling facilities which closely mirror the designers' logical view of the data. Design objects and operations can be easily described by using the structural components and operations in ODM.
