The Iris database management system is a research prototype of a next-generation database management system (DBMS) intended to meet the needs of new and emerging database applications, including office information and knowledge-based systems, engineering test and measurement, and hardware and software design. Iris is exploring a rich set of new database capabilities required by these applications, including rich data-modeling constructs, direct database support for inference, novel and extensive data types, for example, to support graphic images, voice, text, vectors, and matrices, support for long transactions spanning minutes to many days, and multiple versions of data. These capabilities are, in addition to the usual support for permanence of data, controlled sharing, backup, and recovery.

... AMOS (Fahl et al. 1993), is a research prototype of an OR DBMS and a descendant of the WS-IRiS DBMS (Litwin and Risch 1992). WS-IRiS is further a derivative of Iris (Fishman et al. 1989). AMOS is a main-memory DBMS, i.e. it assumes that the entire database is contained in main-memory. ...

... ontologies in object databases, because relational databases do not provide support for many constructs of ontologies, e.g., class inheritance, object properties, and cardinalities. In particular, objectoriented databases are designed to model complex objects and relationships in real-world applications [10,25]. Therefore, object-oriented databases may be used to store OWL 2 ontologies for realizing the efficient management of large amounts of knowledge in the Semantic Web. ...
