An Implementation of a Query Language Supporting Path Expressions
Summary: GENISYS offers a relational-like query view with path-based attribute references across related relations. The core is link selectors, enabling compact, cross-relational path queries that are typically verbose in standard query languages. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
