ConceptBase is a deductive and object-oriented database management system developed at University of Aachen and Tilburg University. It is mainly used for conceptual modeling and metamodeling in the domain of software engineering and related domains.

ConceptBase combines the following features:

  • object-oriented concepts such as classes and inheritance
  • deductive rules evaluated by a Datalog engine
  • active rules conforming to the ECA paradigm
  • recursive function definitions
  • metamodeling with arbitrarily many abstraction levels (metaclasses, meta metaclasses)
