In this thesis we present Voltaire, an ontological programming language designed specifically to manipulate large volumes of heterogeneous data. It is a set-oriented, imperative database programming language, yet functional in nature. The set expressions in the language are conducive to data intensive programming while maintaining a certain amount of efficiency by espousing the imperative paradigm. The language and its semantics are defined in a modular but additive fashion, which facilitates some measure of bootstrapping. We further argue that such an implementation model is desirable, since it provides a single execution model for evaluating queries, satisfying constraints and computing functions.
The system provides automatic integrity enforcement in a lazy evaluation mode. Functions are effectively computed as the result of integrity enforcement. This is because we consider constraints as a sequence of commands to be evaluated or satisfied in the specified order. There are no arbitrary restrictions on the persistence of values--even functions can have a persistent extent. Further, the query language incorporates functions by providing access to the persistent extent of the function or by allowing an actual function call. The compiler can exploit traditional algebraic techniques for query optimization.
The data definition (or data type) facility is similar to what might be found in most semantic data models and is conducive to sharing heterogeneous records. We have defined a type algebra that incorporates type, extent and behavior by providing an extensional semantics for the behavior. We also attempt to define a denotational semantics for the Voltaire language and environment.
We believe Voltaire is an ideal language for data intensive programming, and contains the best features of a typed programming language and a database system.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
