Abstract – The paper discusses issues related to the applica-tion of information modelling to the field of Electronic CAD, using VHDL as the basis for discussion. It is shown that an information model of VHDL provides a coherent and uniform description of the VHDL objects at different levels of the lan-guage and of the transformations that interrelate these levels. In addition, it captures the time-dependent aspects of the lan-guage. Hence, a hierarchy of VHDL information models can ex-ist which encompasses the range from abstraction to detail and can help support CAD applications in a direct manner. I.
