Abstract

Databases will have an important role in telecommunication services based on the Intelligent Network architecture. The databases hold the persistent information needed in operations and management of telecommunication networks and services. We examine database architectures that can be integrated into teleoperators' service provision architectures. Our premises are derived from the IN Long-Term Architecture framework. The database architectures examined are based on object-oriented information models. We evaluate the feasibility of approaches based on the ITU-T Recommendations in the X.500 Series and on the industrial standards called the ODMG-93 Standard and the Object Model of OMG.
