Survey of Object-Oriented Database Technology.

摘要

For many applications, traditional data base models and technologies have proven inadequate, and this has led to research and development of database technologies based on the object-oriented paradigm. In this report, some of the recent research and development in object-oriented databases are surveyed. The core concepts that are being considered in developing a unified object-oriented data model are discussed, followed by some of the architectural issues involved in developing object-oriented database management systems. Technical summaries of two prototype object-oriented database products, GEMSTONE AND ORION, are given. Also, some of the exciting future research directions are highlighted. Keywords: Trusted systems; Multilevel security. (kr)
