Conflict Resolution Of Rules Assigning Values To Virtual Attributes

Summary: Conflicts in rules assigning values to virtual attributes addressed via a framework for conflict resolution in deductive databases. Subsumes prior approaches; adds semantics-aligned solutions; proposes indexing to apply only one rule at query time. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
