The role of object identity, specialization, inheritance, and dynamic binding have been examined. However, a careful look at articles written by people with a theory, programming language, database, and software engineering background shows that the semantical understanding of the same features still differs considerably. A well-known example is the feature of inheritance, which has quite a different meaning for persons from the database comunity with a semantic data model background and persons form the programming language community with a compiling technique background This observation also applies to the literaute on object-oriented software development methods. Here, object -oriented analysis and design methods are often heavily influenced by semantic data modelling consepts- An implemantion of an object-orinted design by an objeckt-oriented progamming language usually causes more difficulties than expected although the "same" object-oriente paradigm is used...
