PMOCT: A Policy Management Tool for OCT Based Design Systems for Multiple Domains

摘要

Specifying and maintaining the semantics of data used by CAD/CAE tools is oftenaccomplished through written documentation. This documentation is used by the tool developers and is not usually computer processable which makes sharing of tools and libraries very difficult and cumbersome. In the OCT data management system developed at U.C. Berkeley, the semantics are referred to as the policy. In this paper, we describe a set of tools that has been developed to allow the user to specify and store the semantics (or policy) itself in the database, and ensure that new instances that are added to the database will be semantically consistent.
