EPOM is a general framework for handling persistence of objects using some existing datastore technology (e.g. ECLI or EiffelStore).
The originality of this framework is that it acknowledges the fact that it has to be an interface between two possibly different worlds.
Both worlds address different needs. The “Object” world manages abstractions, business rules and processes. The “Datastore” world manages efficient, shared and secure data storage and retrieval.
EPOM provides an abstract, object-oriented friendly, way of storing and retrieving objects that is totally independent from any storage method (files, RDBMS, OODBMS, ...).
