Abstract
In this paper we investigate an object oriented markup language (OOML) worked out at the Institute for System Studies (Moscow) that serves for transference of objects, their relations, and characteristics. In addition to a certain sequence of object names and values of object characteristics, the OOML specifies a scheme of relations between the objects.
We show that the object relations scheme may be treated as a specification of the mapping from an object-oriented data base (OODB) to a document constructed by means of the OOML (which is called below the OOML-document). We also show that the scheme of a document may serve as a specification of the mapping from an OOML-document to an object-oriented data base.
The OOML enables to import an OOML-document obtained from an OODB with some structure to another OODB with some different hierarchy using another document scheme. Thus, it is possible to restructure the objects using the two kinds of functions: F 1: (OODB 1 → OOML - document) and F 2: (OOML - document → OODB 2.
