To meet the needs of integrating information on CIMS environment,this paper designs an object-oriented data model ICOM with integration functionsfor the information integration platform. The ICOM data model not only has object-oriented features, including encapsulation and overriding of behaviors, inheritance and multiple inheritance, refinement of behaviors, late binding, and polymorphism, but also can well resolve conflicts during schema integration, such asschema conflicts and data conflicts.
