Abstract

In this chapter, we show how to extend multi-level secure, lineage and disjunctive databases in order to allow for the representation of incomplete predicates by means of bitables. While the resulting systems of MLS factbases and lineage factbases are novelties, the system of disjunctive factbases corresponds to ‘extended disjunctive logic programs’.

Notes

  1. The relationship between disjunctive factbases and Belnap’s ‘epistemic states’ is discussed in Wagner, 1996a.

  2. Without the completeness assumption there are 3 tedium non datur disjunctions formed with m(P), r(A), and r(P), while with the completeness assumption there is only one such disjunction: m(P)V -m(P).
