Abstract

The prime aspect of the integration of tools is the data they share or communicate to each other. The use of a complex object management system for realizing this integration is described. Tool integration is also concerned with the composition of tools. An applicative command language interpreter allowing the application of tools on objects at different levels of granularity in the database is presented. Besides supporting a typed language, the command language interpreter enforces rules on tool usage.
