Abstract

An important aspect of currently developed persistent object systems is support for interoperability with other systems. A central issue in supporting interoperability is achieving type compatibility. We argue that abstraction is also a key interoperability issue. The level of abstraction depends on such features as modularity, encapsulation, orthogonality, minimality, clean and precise semantics, universality, extensibility, type safety and genericity, and others. In the paper we discuss these concepts and some architectures of gateways.
