/*! \class DataBase
* \brief The whole DataBase (\b API).
*
* The unique purpose of this object is to handle, at
* any time, directly or indirectly, the whole set of
* currently allocated objects of the data base.
*
* This is a singleton object, only one can exist at a
* given time.
*
* The data base must be created explicitely (it is
* possible to derive a sub-type with specific
* additional attributes, or use properties to store
* them).
*
* The Database object handles both the Technology
* and the root Library.
*
* \caution Destroying the DataBase object destroys all data base objects.
*/
/*! \function DataBase* DataBase::create ();
* creates and returns a pointer to a new DataBase.
*
* \caution An exception is thrown if a Database already exists.
*/

* DataBase, if it has been created and not destroyed,
* else \NULL.
