Abstract
In this paper, we present an approach allowing the multiple representation, in a restricted domain of computer-aided design (CAD) applications, that of architectural ones.
The proposed approach manages the multiple representation of objects and classes, the schema and the base of an application.
The key notion of our approach is that of point of view. A point of view represents a modelling context for the application designer when he is elaborating the conceptual schema.
The visibility between classes describing the same set of real entities according to different points of views, is achieved thanks to a mechanism based on the notions of filter and the is-derived-from relation.
The objects which represent the same real entity according to different points of view, can share the values of some attributes thanks to an inheritance mechanism between objects.
