Hello everyone!

I am investigating the possibilities of semantical and object-oriented
databases. After reading some introductory articles about them, it is still
not clear to me what the difference is between these two types of
databases and what is the state of art in this area. I have read about VBASE,
but I would like to know more about other commercially available databases of
this kind and their possibilities to support really large amounts of data.

I am also interested in statistical methods in inductive reasoning. I have
been trying to find some literature about this subject, but the most recent
article I could find had been published in 1984!!! That's quite old, isn't it.

I would be very grateful to everyone sending me some tips about books,
articles and existing tools or any remarks about these subjects. Any
information that can help me is welcome.

My address is : !mcvax!dnlunx!adriana

Thanks!
