      We outline some principles for constructing and using a data base system which is one of the most important components of the SOYUZ package designed to solve 2-D time-dependent problems in the continuum mechanics. Described are the main components: the combination of 2-D problem data bases and metabases containing base descriptions: data dietionary/directory used for data description and metabase generation; DBMS providing data manipulation and service functions. For problems under consideration, we outline a concept of data base system designed to operate within a nonhomogeneous computer center including several BESM-6, ES EVM and other machines. Implementing this concept relies upon an object-oriented approach ensuring the most natural representation of objects from 2-D problem application domains in terms of structures and operations; making differences between file systems of the nonhomogeneous complex hidden to the user; functionally and structurally distributing DBMS to different computers.
