Correctness of data residing in a database is vital. While integrity constraint enforcement can often ensure data consistency, it is inadequate to protect against updates that inv...

Linked Data makes one central addition to the Semantic Web principles: all entity URIs should be dereferenceable to provide an authoritative RDF representation. URIs in a linked da...
This paper presents our work on supporting evaluation of integrity constraint issues in semantic web instance data. We propose an alternative semantics for the ontology language, i...
In this paper we propose a logic programming language which supports hypothetical updates together with integrity constraints. The language allows sequences of updates by sets of a...

We present a procedure for deriving the weakest precondition for a database update and an integrity constraint. We show how to simplify the weakest precondition to produce a condi...
During the process of updating a database, two interrelated problems could arise. On one hand, when an update is applied to the database, integrity constraints could become violat...
The aim of this paper is to show a method that is able to detect a particular class of semantic inconsistencies in a rule-based system (RBS). A semantic inconsistency is defined by...
Abstract. We examine the maintenance of data consistency in the presence of application-database interactions. Currently, a programmer must insert explicit checks to ensure that da...
Any implementation of an information system must ensure that an operation is only applied if its execution does not lead to a violation of any of the integrity constraints defined ...
Abstract. Software applications are inevitably concerned with data integrity, whether the data is stored in a database, files, or program memory. An integrity guard is code execut...
