Semantics and Implementation of Schema Evolution in Object-Oriented Databases

Summary: Framework and semantic model for dynamic schema evolution in an object-oriented DB (ORION). Implementation strategies to support object-schema changes, enabling persistent, sharable, application-driven evolution in data-intensive domains (e.g., CAD/CAM, AI, OIS).
