In the FGCS project and its Follow-on project, we have designed
and developed a nested relational database management system, Kappa, a
deductive object-oriented database (DOOD) language (or a knowledge
representation language), , and a heterogeneous distributed
cooperative problem solving system, Helios, for knowledge information
processing applications.
In this paper, from the viewpoint of database and knowledge-base
management systems, I overview their objectives and features, and
summarize their contributions.
Especially. I focus mainly on their language aspects rather than
systems.
Further, by reflecting their experiences, I discuss some
directions of future database from an application point of view.
