.... query language based on the Query Graphs (QG) of Graph Oriented Object Data Model [GPG90] EQG subsumes QG and introduces extensions to enable natural, declarative expressibility of complex queries involving universal quantification, negation, set comparison or combinations of these [SSG93, SGB93] The main extensions introduced are to augment standard conjunctive query graphs with set object that represent derived sets relevant to the query, and to specify VEnndiagram interactions between the set objects to specify the constraints to be met by the derived sets that the set objects ....
