ILOG: Declarative Creation and Manipulation of Object Identifiers

Summary: ILOG is a Skolem-functor-based Datalog language for declarative OID creation, querying, and schema translation in object databases. A normal form characterizes generated OIDs; expressiveness spans conjunctive queries to all computable translations, with validity sometimes undecidable. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
