ODBMS.ORG, a vendor-independent non-profit group of high-profile software experts lead by Prof. Roberto Zicari, today announced the exclusive publication of a new series of user reports on using technologies for storing and handling persistent objects:

11 user reports have been published, from the following users:
- Gerd Klevesaat, Siemens
- Pieter van Zyl, CSIR
- Philippe Roose, Liuppa
- William Westlake, SAIC
- Stefan Edlich, TFH Berlin
- Udayan Banerjee, NIIT
- Nishio Shuichi, ATR Labs
- John Davies, Iona
- Scott Ambler, IBM
- Mike Card, Syracuse
- Rich Ahrens, Merrill Lynch
Prof. Zicari asked each users a number of equal questions, among them if they had an "impedance mismatch" problem. Each time data models, e.g. relational models, are used to persistently store data and the program language used, e.g. in object-oriented Java, are different, this is referred to as the "impedance mismatch" problem.
Users confirmed in different ways the existence of such a problem.
Enjoy!
