On the Expressive Power of the Logical Data Model
Summary: Study of the expressive power of the logical data model (LDM); constraint checking is no harder than in the relational model. LDM is essentially first-order, enabling theorem proving for design and deductive queries; cycles do not add power, as cyclic schemas reduce to acyclic ones. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
