Abstract

A simple, graph-oriented database model, supporting object-identity, is presented. For this model, a transformation language based on elementary graph operations is defined. This transformation language is suitable for both querying and updates. It is shown that the transformation language supports both set-operations (except for the powerset operator) and recursive functions.
