A Language Facility for Designing Interactive Database-Intensive Applications

Summary: TAXIS: a language for interactive, DB-intensive apps unifying RDB facilities with semantic constraints and exception handling. Encodes behavior and constraints via class, property, and ISA; examples: credit checks, registration, airline reservations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
