Abstract: In a process for storing data from a database in a store of an information system, wherein access to the database is possible via a program running in an EDP system, the structure of the data stored in the database is built up by the following process steps: storing a plurality of objects representing images of concrete or abstract objects in a first store region; storing a plurality of relations between the objects in a second store region; storing a plurality of characteristics for describing the objects and the relations between them in a third and fourth store region; storing a plurality of connections between the objects and the characteristics in a fifth store region; and storing a plurality of connections between the relations and the characteristics in a sixth store region, where the six regions represent physically or logically bounded store regions. The invention also relates to the corresponding data structure and an information system.
