Viewers: A Data-World Analogue of Procedure Calls
Summary: Proposes viewers: reference-valued data that substitutes into data, a data-world analogue of procedure calls. Enables attribute import, inheritance and multi-inheritance, stored selections, projections/joins, and viewing a single relation as multiple hierarchies; discusses formal foundations and integration into a query language.
