Abstract
Database Management Systems are being developed to meet the complex data structure and functionality requirements of engineering applications. This paper describes an application-oriented strategy for evaluating engineering DBMSs based on a generic hypertext application. The hypertext application, which we call the HyperModel, consists of a schema and several operations described at a conceptual level, suitable for implementation on many different DBMSs. The results of running the HyperModel benchmark on two commercially available DBMSs (GemStone and Vbase) are presented and discussed.
