[This is from a friend who doesn't have access to news. I don't

anyone's interested, I'll summarise to the group. ]

I am looking at the application of the object oriented paradigm
to data exchange standards within the chemical and process
engineering industries. One aspect of this work requires the
implementation of a data model upon ,preferably, an object oriented
database.

Questions.. are there any existing  freebee  oodb's around
or  else is there anyone out there is has already written such a
beast in say either C++ or Smaltalk. Also any standard
references  pertaining  to  state  of  the art and development of
oodb's and lastly any hints/comments/insults.

Thanks,
Brian.
