A Lightweight Object-Resource Mapping Method with a Query Declaration Like SQL

As information systems have been more sophisticated, database systems are more frequently adopted on the development of applications. On the other hand, the difference between the data structure and the data representation is large. Since database systems deal with the data structure and programming languages deal with the data representation, developers have to encounter with the difference. In this paper, we propose a lightweight object-resource mapping method with a query declaration like SQL.
