Abstract
Most products consist of a set of linked objects organised in a structure called, at least sometimes, an “assembly”. The classical assembly structure defined in the BUILD system, perhaps even earlier, has a structure consisting of an assembly, containing a list of instances each referring to a single object or an assembly. The use of instances and transformations also appears in computer graphics, see Newman and Sproull [1], for example.
