Towards a Formal Approach for Object Database Design
Summary: Formalizes object-database design with IFO2, extending IFO using object concepts such as composition, grouping, and semantic constraints. Defines schema-update change rules and automatic translation to implementable models, demonstrated for O2. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
