Features of the TEDM object model
David Maier · OHSU Digital Commons · 2018
We present the object model of TEDM, a data model devised using concepts from both object-oriented systems and deductive reasoning systems. Each of of following topics is briefly discussed in this paper: 1) basic concepts of the model, 2) its complex object space, 3) its extension with abstract objects to the object space, 4) its data manipulation facilities, 5) its notion of rules and deductive reasoning on complex objects, 6) its approach to object representation of types and commands, and 7) its idea of dynamic construction of database programs.
