of Database and Information Systems at
Frankfurt University and representative of the Object
Management Group (OMG) in Europe. His interest in object databases dates
back to his work at the IBM Research Center in Almaden, CA, in the mid '80s, when
he helped craft the definition of an extension of the relational data model to accommodate
complex data structures. In 1989, he joined the design team of the Gip Altair project
in Paris, later to become O2, one of the world's first object database products.
