The package incrementally compiles an object-oriented data model to a theory containing object-universes, constructors, and accessor functions, coercions between dynamic and static types, characteristic sets, their relations reflecting inheritance, and the necessary class invariants. The package is conservative, i.e., all properties are derived entirely from axiomatic definitions. As an application, we use the package for an object-oriented core-language called \IMPOO, for which correctness of a Hoare logic with respect to an operational semantics is proven.}, categories = {holocl}, ps = {http://www.brucker.ch/bibliography/download/2006/brucker.ea-package-2006.ps.gz} , pdf = {http://www.brucker.ch/bibliography/download/2006/brucker.ea-package-2006.pdf} , classification= {workshop}, keywords = {datatype package, extensible object-oriented data model, object-oriented specification,shallow embedding} }
