Abstract
This paper discusses the design of an object-oriented database extension to Trellis, an object-based language with multiple inheritance and compile-time type-checking. The database, which we call an object-repository, provides shared access to persistent objects in a multi-user environment. Furthermore, it provides the usual database amenities such as concurrency control, recovery, and authorization. The database is intended for applications, such as engineering data management, which have complex data structuring requirements and special data accessing needs.
