Abstract
The advantages of [[Florid]] as a deductive object-oriented database system are the rich object-oriented modeling facilities of its language F-logic. The focus of this paper is on [[Florid's]] multiple inheritance mechanism which turns out to be a useful means to adapt various examples of nonmonotonic reasoning in the object-oriented setting.
