... 24 C h a p t e r 4 Introduction This chapter describes the development of a data architecture to support the use of a variety of UCMs in a database environment. The following sections describe data architecture components developed as part of this research, a utility conflict database prototype, and the results of testing the prototype with two sample UCMs and the prototype UCM described in Chapter 3.
