Next Generation Software is a software development company which has developed "O(n2) Space". "O(n2) Space" is a conceptual modeling and development framework that allows a two-way mapping between given application intension and extension by means of meta-modeling. To that end "O(n2) Space" defines container architecture that automatically translates models between data (extension) and program (intension). Each container performs as a kind of spatial "projector" that reflects component's extension as a proper image of its intension. For example, in database applications the intensional information, present in a form of data integrity constraints, can be mapped to its use cases by "O(n2) Space" container. A prototype tool developed at Next Generation Software, "OntoBase" demonstrates how it is possible to define and maintain a single set of constraints for both: data and programs.
