The paper deals with applying object-oriented methodology for modeling a database of a hospital. The presented model is very general, includes all domains of hospital activity and can be extended according to the needs. The semantics of update operations is defined such that the model-inherent integrity constraints such as typing, class membership, subtype- and subclass- relationship, and class predicates can be maintained automatically.
