A New Perspective on Rule Support for Object-Oriented Databases*

Summary: Proposes an event interface extending object semantics with an event generator for cross-class event detection and first-class events. Separates event detection from rules, enables subscriptions for dynamic monitoring, and supports class- and instance-level reactive rules. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
