A Modal System of Algebras for Database Specification and Query/Update Language Support
Summary: Presents a modal Hoare-style logic for application-specific database properties. Databases are dynamic objects: each instance is a many-sorted algebra with the schema as signature; queries, constraints, updates are modal formulas over possible worlds.
