Integrating Models of Quality Management Methods by an Object-Oriented
Repository

P. Peters, P. Szczurko

           This paper deals with an integration approach of  quality
           management methods using the deductive object-oriented DBMS
           ConceptBase as a repository. Based on the IRDS standard we
           defined a distributed modeling environment. The experiences
           we had during the modeling process in the research project
           WibQuS emphasize the need for object-oriented abstraction
           mechanisms and deductive reasoning.  Furthermore the developed
           conceptual model is a framework not only for specification and
           evolution of method models but also for information browsing
           in a distributed information system.
