Abstract:

The complementary features of both deductive and object-oriented database approaches suggest an integration into a unified Deductive Object-Oriented Database (DOOD) system where the object-oriented components model the real-world structured data and the deductive components handle the query language capabilities.

Although many important concepts and requirements related to DOOD systems have been identified during more than a decade of research, a widely adopted DOOD system has not yet been implemented.

We have designed the ``UNIversal Deductive Object-Oriented Relational'' (UNIDOOR) data model and currently implementing the UNIDOOR database system. We believe that the resulting system will fully integration the deductive and object-oriented capabilities resulting a database system with real-world modelling augmented with a declarative, expressive and easy-to-use query language.
We further argue that XML data model can be elegantly mapped into UNIDOOR data model resulting in an efficient and well-founded query language for XML which is currently missing.
