Abstract
This paper proposes an integration of the version concept with the abstraction concepts present in object-oriented database models, considering structural aspects. The possible relationships between objects (and versions) and their ascendents in the class or type hierarchies is discussed and a discipline for version creation is proposed, based on the object constructors used to build the versions.
