In the german research project *Interfaces and Data Transfer for
Integrated VLSI Design Systems* we are concerned with EDIF oriented
database systems.
EDIF oriented database schemas for the relational database systems
INGRES and ORACLE has been developped and implemented at the Univeristy
of Hagen and the Technical University of Darmstadt. Future activities
will be an object-oriented EDIF database and an EDIF oriented procedural
tool interface.
