Abstract

A family of the ODMG Object Models is proposed as a solution to the problems of the ODMG Standard related to the type systems, the modelo f persistence, and the model semantics. This family is intended to replace the existing single and inadequate ODMG Object Model. Unlike the ODMG Standard, all the models in this family are equipped with orthogonal persistence. The most basic model in the family corresponds to the JavaTM programming language. A strictly more sophisticated modelfeat ures the form of parametric polymorphism suitable for object-oriented database technology. The next model in the hierarchy is equipped with type-safe reflective capabilities. The most sophisticated model is enriched with a logic-based constraint language that is completely missing from the ODMG Standard. Each model in the family is well-defined and avoids the inconsistencies of the ODMG Object Model.
