IntroductionHBDS is an "Object Oriented" method to structure any phenomena or entity created by Mr Francois Bouille in 1977. It's mainly used in GIS (Geographic Information System) and in simulation. DetailsThere are six basic concepts. The object concept 'o' makes it possible to define the basic entities of the considered domain. Those objects may be grouped by their characteristics; this leads to the concept of class 'C'. Those charac teristics are known as attributes 'a', this defines the class-attribute 'A'. Links 'L' between classes are possible whose occurrences are known as object-links 'l'. One can also define an hyperclass which is a set of classes. Basic graphical representation of HBDS: | A | -- | a | | | | | | | | C | -- | O | | | | | | | | L | -- | l |
