A method of integrating software development tools is described. A data centered approach is taken, the software objects residing in a software object (data) repository. Odin can be thought of as an interpreter for a high level command language whose operands are the various software objects in the data repository and whose operators are the various tool fragments used to construct the software tools. Software objects can be such tools as source code, parse trees, symbol tables, flow graphs, documentation, test data, test results, and program structure representations. Discussions of previous research, Odin architecture, design, the Odin request language, the Odin specification language, and an example of Odin implementation are presented. 45 refs., 8 figs. (DWL)
