With the advent of XML and its use as a database language, dependency and normal form theory has attracted novel research interest. Several approaches to build up a dependency and...
Haskell’s type system with multi-parameter constructor classes and functional dependencies allows static (compile-time) computations to be expressed by logic programming on the ...
We extend Fagin’s result on the equivalence between functional dependencies in relational databases and propositional Horn clauses. It is shown that this equivalence still holds...
With the rise of XML as a standard model of data exchange, XML functional dependencies (XFDs) have become important to areas such as key analysis, document normalization, and data ...
Functional dependencies (FDs) are an integral part of database theory since they are used in integrity enforcement and in database design. Recently, functional dependencies satis...
A functional dependency is a logical relationship amongst the attributes that define a table of data. Specifically, a functional dependency holds when the values of a subset of ...
In this work, our objective is to heuristically discover a simplified form of functional dependencies between variables called weak dependencies. Once discovered, these relations...
