CLASSIC: A Structural Data Model for Objects
Summary: CLASSIC proposes a structural object model with intensional descriptions, enabling open-world, partial specs and queries that return extensional results or universal properties. It uses a uniform, extensible schema and language for defining, populating, querying, and reasoning, with active class discovery and forward-chaining for tractable expressiveness beyond deductive DBMS.
