HIT Data Model: Data Bases from the Functional Point of View

Summary: Proposes the HIT data model, recasting databases as typed functions in a lambda-calculus framework. This yields uniform, function-centric semantics across schema, queries, and data description, enabling multi-level formalization beyond relational views. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
