ODMG

The portal's editor, Roberto V. Zicari, is Professor of Database and Information Systems at Frankfurt University and was for more than 15 years representative of the Object Management Group (OMG) in Europe. His interest in object databases dates back to his work at the IBM Research Center in Almaden, CA, in the mid '80s, when he helped craft the definition of an extension of the relational data model to accommodate complex data structures. In 1989, he joined the design team of the Gip Altair project in Paris, later to become O2, one of the world's first object database products.
