Abstract. We study the complexity of consistency checking and query answering on incomplete databases for languages ranging from non-recursive Datalog to disjunctive Datalog with n...
Semistructured data occur in situations where information lacks a homogeneous structure and is incomplete. Yet, up to now the incompleteness of information has not been re ected b...
Abstract. In many cases, users may want to consider incomplete answers to their queries. Often, however, there is an overwhelming number of such answers, even if subsumed answers a...
Previous studies of incomplete XML documents have identified three main sources of incompleteness – in structural information, data values, and labeling – and addressed data ...
We dene a preferential semantics based on stable generated models for a very general class of temporal deductive databases. We allow two kinds of temporal information to be repre...
