      We present a new interface for Object-Oriented Database
      Management Systems (OODBMSs). The {\em GOODIES} system (an
      acronym for {\em Graphical Object Oriented Database Interface
      with Extended Synchronism}) combines and expands the functions
      of many existing interface systems, introducing some new
      concepts for improved browsing in an OODBMS. The implementation
      of GOODIES proposes a new approach to database interfaces
      development: instead of being strongly dependent of the
      underlying DBMS, GOODIES is based on the main features of the
      object-oriented data model. The system design is based on an
      internal model and on an external model. The internal model
      defines the relationships that bind the interface to the
      DBMS. The external model determines the possible interaction
      between the user and the interface system.  This paper describes
      the concepts of the external model of the GOODIES system.
