Towards a Theory of Schema-Mapping Optimization

Summary: Define data-exchange and conjunctive-query (CQ) equivalences as practical relaxations of logical equivalence for schema mappings. Provide characterizations—via bounded cores of universal solutions—of when SO‑tgds or s‑t+target tgds with terminating chase are CQ‑equivalent to finite s‑t tgd sets.
