摘要：

In this paper, we overview the Object-Protocol Model (OPM) and a suite of data management tools based on OPM. OPM is a data model that allows specifying database structures and queries in terms of objects and protocols specific to scientific (e.g., molecular biology laboratory) applications. Thus, scientific experiments and their resources can be described using OPM in a unified way. OPM data management tools provide facilities for specifying and querying relational databases in terms of OPM constructs, and automatically generate database specifications and queries for implementing OPM on top of commercial relational database management systems (DBMSs). OPM tools increase the efficiency of developing scientific databases using relational DBMSs, while insulating scientists from the underlying DBMSs.
