PRIMA - A Database System Supporting Dynamically Defined Composite Objects
Summary: PRIMA offers an app-independent complex-object interface (MAD model) with dynamic molecule-type definitions at query time and pluggable app-specific extensions. Molecules are directed subgraphs of atoms in an undirected network, with a root; MQL defines and manipulates these composites, enabling closure and hierarchical/recursive structures.
