Abstract
Advantages related to object-oriented technology are at present well known. However, when designing, they must be considered as key objectives on equal terms with the description of the semantic and computer requirements of a problem. In this paper, we present a methodology for object-oriented database design that aims at reaching these objectives through stages of different abstraction levels (conceptual, logical, and implementation stages), the use of models and graphical notations. Moreover, since there is no standard object-oriented data model, we propose to construct during the conceptual and logical stages a database representation as complete as possible and independent on a specific OODBMS.
