The integration of CASE tools in software engineering environments requires a set of integration mechanisms to allow data sharing, communication and process conformance. Solutions for the sharing and dynamic management of data schemas in these environments comprise specific repositories, such as PCTE, and object-oriented database management systems (OODBMS). This paper presents an extension with object-oriented concepts to Bremeau’s method for designing sharable data schemas. The extension applies both to PCTE and OODBMS. An application of the proposed method is shown through a case study which presents and integrates three CASE tools.
