This paper presents the data model developed in the context of the VADOR application frame-work project. The purpose of the VADOR frame-work is to enable the seamless integration of commercial and in-house analysis applications in a heterogeneous, distributed computing environment, and to allow the management and sharing of the data in order to provide support to MDO. A multi-tiered client-server architecture has been devised, which comprises a client GUI for interactive data definition and execution launching, separate data and execution servers, and autonomous remotely executable application wrappers. The data model is at the core of the system and its contents and relations constitutes one of the main deliverables of the project.
