A simple model of dynamic databases is studied from a modal logic perspecitve. A state α of a database is an atomic update of a state β if at most one atomic statement is evaluat...
Two things are done in this paper. First, a modal logic in which one can quantify over both objects and concepts is presented; a semantics and a tableau system are given. It is a n...
Motivated by the possibilities of applying deductive database technology for efficient query answering in description logics, we present a translation operator µ that transforms...
World-set algebra is a variable-free query language for uncertain databases. It constitutes the core of the query language implemented in MayBMS, an uncertain database system. Thi...
The paper presents an unified Description Logic (DL) model for databases. Describing database models using DLs is a fundamental problem in many areas because it turns databases to...
