Embedded Functional Dependencies and Data-completeness Tailored Database Design
Summary: Introduces embedded functional dependencies (EFDs) that operate independently of missing-value interpretation to express completeness and integrity constraints on data. Provides axiomatic and algorithmic foundations for EFDs, yielding generalized BCNF/3NF that minimize or eliminate redundancy across dependency-preserving decompositions, with experimental validation.
