Abstract
The purpose of semantic query optimization is to use semantic knowledge (e.g. integrity constraints) for transforming a query into a form that may be answered more efficiently than the original version. This paper proposes a general method for semantic query optimization in the framework of Object Oriented Database Systems. The method is applicable to the class of conjunctive queries and is based on two ingredients: a formalism able to express both class descriptions and integrity constraints rules as types; subsumption computation between types to evaluate the logical implications expressed by integrity constraints rules.
