SIM: A Database System Based on the Semantic Data Model
Summary: SIM is a commercial DBMS built on a semantic data model (SDM-like) aligning real-world data with schema semantics. DAG-based generalization, interobject relations, integrity constraints, and an English-like DML; architecture/implementation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
