Here is a good article on OODBMSs:

M. Atkinson, F.Bancilhon, D. De Witt, K. Dittrich, D. Maier and S. Zdonik.
The object-oriented database system manifesto (a political pamphlet).
Proc. DOOD 89, Kyoto, Japan, December (1989)

Some of the foremost researchers in the field have got together
on this paper to attempt to define an OODBMS.
