Handling Summary Information In A Database: Derivability

Summary: Defines a schema of summary data as a relation between object classifications and attribute domains; introduces reclassification rules as semantic links. Employs set-theoretic lemmata as an inference mechanism to test derivability and derive summaries, improving usability and logical data independence (statistical examples).
