A Model of Queries for Object-Oriented Databases

Summary: Introduces a comprehensive query model for object-oriented databases, addressing class-hierarchy semantics and nested objects. A substantial subset is realized in ORION, yielding a query language richer than relational or nested-relational models. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
