A Model-Theoretic Approach to Updating Logical Databases (Extended Abstract)
Summary: Embeds incomplete databases and updates into first-order logic, defining model-theoretic semantics for update operators over incomplete information. Provides constructive semantics plus an efficient algorithm to perform these logical updates on incomplete databases. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
