A Principled Solution to the Disjunction Problem of Diagrammatic Query Representations
Summary: Principled diagrammatic encoding for full TRC with disjunctions: preserves table/join/attribute structure while remaining semantically faithful. Enables unambiguous, lossless reconstruction of any well-formed query, fixing the long-standing disjunction problem in query diagrams. (summarized by gpt-5.4-mini on Apr 11 2026)
