ILOG: Declarative Creation and Manipulation of Object Identifiers

Summary: ILOG is a stratified Datalog-like declarative language for object-based data with explicit OID creation via Skolem functors; supports querying and schema translation. A non-recursive normal form links target OIDs to source values; expressive power spans conjunctive queries to full translations, with decidability results and OOAlgebra simulations.
