Abstract
Nowadays database technology is a key concept of integrated design environments and CAD frameworks. Crucial aspects of the exploitation of database systems in this application area are the modeling of design data as well as the modeling of activities managing this data. The latter point requires the development of transactional structures reflecting the actual processing characteristics of the various classes of design data in an adequate manner and, additionally, some support for controlled cooperation among designers. In this paper, we will discuss the distinct processing characteristics of the most important types of design data and will propose adjusted transactional structures reflecting the requirements of their manipulation. Furthermore, we will detail how these transactional structures can be embedded into a comprehensive processing model for design processes, which also supports cooperation control and design flow management besides data processing performed by a set of design tools.
