S.E.A.L. - A Query Language for Entity-Association Queries
Stanley, E., Mogin, P. and Andreae, P.
The paper presents the S.E.A.L. query language and
interpreter for entity-association queries that allows such
queries to be expressed in a much simpler way than in
SQL. S.E.A.L (Simplified Entity Association Language)
also supports Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) data
structures, enabling users to write queries without having
to know whether a particular attribute is a regular attribute
or an EAV attribute. The language allows parts of a query
to be omitted if they are implied by the rest of the query,
and the interpreter will infer the missing requirements, or
ask the user to resolve the ambiguity. S.E.A.L. makes it
easier for users of databases, particularly science and
eCommerce databases, to make use of the valuable
information in their databases. |
