Classification of Annotation Semirings over Query Containment
Summary: Axiomatizes commutative annotation semirings under which conjunctive-query containment reduces to existence of specific homomorphisms, covering provenance, probability and multiplicity annotations. Characterizes when such homomorphism checks are necessary/sufficient and derives new decision procedures for containment of unions of conjunctive queries. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
