Title
Enhancing the Object-Oriented Concepts for Database Support
Abstract
In this paper, we elaborate on three major enhancements to the conventional object-oriented data model, namely, schema evolution, composite objects, and versions. Schema evolution is the ability to dynamically make changes to the class definitions and the structure of the class lattice. Composite objects are recursive collections of exclusive components that are treated as units of storage, retrieval, and integrity enforcement. Versions are variations of the same object that are related by the history of their derivation. These additional features are strongly motivated by data management requirements of object-oriented applications from the AI, CAD/CAM, and OIS (office information systems with multimedia documents) domains. An object-oriented data model, with these enhancements, has been incorporated into ORION, a prototype database system developed at MCC as a vehicle of research into object-oriented databases.
