• Applications can work in terms of a more application-centric conceptual model, including types with inheritance, complex members, and relationships
  
• Applications are freed from hard-coded dependencies on a particular data engine or storage schema
  
• Mappings between the conceptual application model and the storage-specific schema can change without changing the application code
  
• Developers can work with a consistent application object model that can be mapped to various storage schemas, possibly implemented in different database management systems
  
• Multiple application models can be mapped to a single storage schema
  
• Language-integrated query support provides compile-time syntax validation for queries against a conceptual model
