A Data/Knowledge Base Management Testbed and Experimental Results on Data/Knowledge Base Query and Update Processing

Summary: Two-layer data/knowledge base management testbed; knowledge manager compiles Horn queries into embedded-SQL for a relational DBMS. Unifies data/knowledge concepts into a real system; architecture, algorithms, results, and lessons guide D/KBMS design. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
