Abstract
The work described in this paper represents some early results from a long term project to provide support for the migration of data and meta-data from a relational to an Object-Oriented database. The initial tool processes the schema of a relational database and presents it to the user as the equivalent object-oriented schema. The results of this processing is an initial version of the object schema and requires user intervention in the naming of new abstract classes built by the system.
