Formal Models of Web Queries
Summary: Introduce a formal model for Web queries that captures navigational access patterns and the absence of concurrency control, and analyze how these features alter query computability. Propose the Web calculus, an abstraction/extension of WebSQL, to guide Web query language design. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
