ODABA is a terminology-oriented database management system, which is a conceptual extension of an object-oriented database system, and implements concepts defined in a terminology model.{{cite conference | url = http://www.odaba.com/content/downloads/documentation/P2_TerminologyModel_v1.pdf | title = A terminology model approach for defining and managing statistical metadata | first = R. | last = Karge |date=April 2005 | conference = Eighth Open Forum on Metadata Registries | location = Berlin | format = pdf

Features

Database access is supported via an application program interface (API) for C++ or .NET programming languages and via the ODABA Script Interface (OSI). Object Definition Language (ODL) and Object Query Language (OQL) provided with OSI are ODMG 3.0{{Cite book | last = Cattell | first = R.J.J. | author2 = D.K.

Beside standard models (object model, functional model and dynamic model), ODABA supports a documentation model and an administration model. In order to be terminology model compliant, several conceptual extensions are supported as set relations, multilingual attributes, weak-typed collections or hierarchical enumerations (classifications).

ODABA supports semi-automatic conversion from terminology models to object models and schema conversion from object model to relational models (MS SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle) which allows storing or mirroring ODABA data in relational databases or in XML files.
