A High-Level User Interface for Update and Retrieval in Relational Databases - Language Aspects
Summary: High-level MEMODAX UI based on the universal relation model; introduces USIL for schema-agnostic querying and updates. Retrieval without explicit access-paths and updates with only known attributes, aiming for a natural-language–like interface for data management. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
