Rule Management in Object Oriented Databases: A Uniform Approach

Summary: A uniform OODB rule model treats rules as ordinary objects, enabling relationships, hierarchies, and self-triggering methods without a separate rule mechanism. Class-based rule indexing exploits the rule/class relationship to prune applicable-rule searches, demonstrated in ADAM/Prolog. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
