A data modeling approach for office information systems
Simon J. Gibbs, D. Tsichritzis · ACM Transactions on Information Systems · 1983
A data model for representing the structure and semantics of office objects is proposed.The model contains features for modeling forms, documents, and other complex objects; these features include a constraint mechanism based on triggers, templates for presenting objects in different media, and unformatted data types such as text and audio.The representation of common office objects is described.User-level commands may be translated to operations within the model.
