featuresmatrix intro pageOODBTG Reference Model
X3/SPARC/DBSSG/OODB Task Group was commissioned in 1989 to characterizeOODB systems and determine a roadmap for standards in the OODB area. Itsfinal report was completed in September, 1991. As part of its referencemodel characterizing OODBs, a stand alone section was written that defines"General Characteristics of Object Models." Material from thischapter is included in this features matrix.
The document reference is:
"General Characteristics of Object Models," section 3.2 in:Bill Kent, Allen Otis, Craig Thompson (editors), "Object Data ManagementReference Model", section 3 in: Elizabeth Fong, William Kent, KenMoore, and Craig Thompson (editors).

ODMG
The Object Database Management Group (ODMG) was initiated in late 1991to address the belief that lack of standards for object databases has hinderedtheir acceptance. The group wanted to progress quickly, thus they keptthemselves small (originally 5 voting members) and insisted that membersrepresent their companies as individuals; substitute representatives arenot allowed. Release 1.0 of the standard was published a little over ayear later in 1993.
As of February 1994, the group has seven voting member companies anda number of reviewer companies. The voting member companies and most ofthe reviewer member companies have committed to supporting the standardby 1995.

EXPRESS
EXPRESS is a conceptual schema language. It is defined specificallyto deal with the information that is consumed or produced during productmanufacturing. EXPRESS is not a programming language. It does not containlanguage elements which allow input/output, information processing or exceptionhandling. EXPRESS focuses on the definition of entities consisting of dataand behavior. Data represents the properties by which an entity is realizedand behavior is represented by constraints and operations.

Open Distributed Processing
ODP or Open Distributed Processing and specifically the Reference Modelfor ODP (RM-ODP) contains its own model for objects to support the ODPconcepts.
