Yes: what you're looking for is called "frames".  Some people think
that mainstream programming invented OO; but it's probably the other
way around.

Peter Karp has some papers on Frames + databses available from:
http://www.ai.sri.com:80/aic/aic-bibliography.html

I used the word "frame" to find some papers:
	P. D. Karp, "The design space of frame knowledge representation systems," Tech. Rep. 520, SRIAIC, 1992.
	P. D. Karp, K. Myers, and T. Gruber, "The generic frame protocol," Submitted to IJCAI-95, 1995.
	P. D. Karp and S. M. Paley, "Knowledge representation in the large," Submitted to IJCAI-95, 1995.
	P. D. Karp, S. M. Paley, and I. Greenberg, "A storage system for scalable knowledge representation," in Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (N. Adam, ed.), 1994

But don't stop there ... you've got about 3 decades' worth of AI
papers on knowledge representation to research ...
