Contexts and Composite Objects

TL;DRAbstract

Many applications require the capability to define and manipulate a collection of related objects as a single unit.

The concept of context that we propose here provides another, more general, way to view and manipulate collections of objects. We compare the two concepts both in their formal definitions and in their implementation in object-oriented database system.
