Abstract. This paper presents a decidable fragment for combining ontologies and rules in order-sorted logic programming. We describe ordersorted logic programming with sort, predic...
This paper shows a complete upward collapse in the Polynomial Hierarchy (PH) if for ZPP, two queries to a SAT oracle is equivalent to one query. That is, ZPPSAT[1] = ZPPSAT [2] = ...
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...
As the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is about to emerge as a new standard for databases, the problem of providing solid logical grounds for XML query languages arises. For the ...
