ADAMS provides a mechanism for applications programs, written in many languages, to define and access common persistent databases. The basic constructs are element, class, set, map, attribute and codomain. From these the user may define new data structures and new data classes belonging to a semantic hierarchy that supports multiple inheritance. 7 refs., 2 figs.
