Abstract
The set of object-oriented concepts found in object-oriented programming languages forms a good basis for a data model for post-relational database systems which will extend the domain of database applications beyond conventional business data processing. However, despite the high level of research and development activities during the past several years, there is no standard object-oriented data model, and criticisms and concerns about the field still remain. In this paper, I will first provide a historical perspective on the emergence of object-oriented database systems in order to derive a definition of object-oriented database systems. I will then examine a number of major challenge which remain for researchers and implementers of object-oriented database systems.This publication has 43 references indexed in Scilit:
