Seamless integration in object-oriented database systems
Abstract
The author discusses the use of object-oriented database systems for supporting database applications such as office information systems, knowledge-based systems, engineering design databases computer-aided design/manufacturing, hypermedia, and software engineering databases. Typically, the research on object-oriented database systems has been addressed from two different disciplines: (1) the programming language discipline and (2) the database discipline. Here the author discuses his motivations from each of the two disciplines and then discusses how they are combined into an integrated framework.
