An Implementation Model For Reasoning With Complex Objects

Summary: Proposes NESTED_DATALOG for nested predicates and a token object model that extends relational DBs to represent complex objects with sharing. Maps NESTED_DATALOG to pure DATALOG via the token model, enabling rule-based reasoning on complex objects within a relational DBMS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
