Chimera: A Model and Language for Active DOOD Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chimera is a novel database model and language which has been designed as a joint conceptual interface of the IDEA project, a major Euro-pean cooperation initiative aiming at the integration of object-oriented, active and deductive database technology. In this paper, we present a view of the main features of Chimera and discuss the design choices made. The most remarkable characteristic of Chimera is the fact that fully developed rule languages for both active and deductive rules have been integrated in an object-oriented context. Rules are in the center of interest of the IDEA project, which aims at developing prototypical components of a future \intelligent" DBMS.

Update Propagation in Chimera, an Active DOOD Language
Propagating updates is an important task to be performed within many database services such as integrity checking, maintenance of materialized views, and condition monitoring. This paper is concerned with the propagation of updates in an active DOOD language. The approach proposed is to make use of Chimera triggers for computing induced updates. It will be shown how a subset of Chimera's deduct...

متن کاملA Formal Framework for the Implementation and Evolution of DOOD Schemas
We present a formal framework for the implementation of a concep tual data model in terms of an internal data model within a two level architecture taking into account schema consistency and instance com patibility Within that framework the consequences of schema changes are investigated leading to a homogeneous formalization of existing ap proaches to schema evolution On that basis we introduc...
متن کاملGeographic Data Handling in aDeductive Object - Oriented
This paper describes how a deductive object-oriented database (DOOD) can be used to support the storage and management of data which is typical of that found in geographic information systems (GIS). This is done with two aims in mind: to illustrate how a combination of deductive and object-oriented facilities can be applied eeectively in an advanced application, thereby motivating the developme...
