A Relational Implementation of a View-based Object System

摘要

OSIRIS is a system implementing a view-based object model unifying database and knowledge base concepts. Its implementation relies on a kernel which is the interface between the different modules (user interface, classifying network, method server) and the physical representation of objects. Three distinct implementations are provided through this kernel layer : in main memory for non-persistent objects, through an object manager, and on top of a relational DBMS. This paper deals with the relational option.
