On The Integrity Of Databases With Incomplete Information
Summary: Defines meaningfulness of incomplete databases via existence of a completion satisfying integrity constraints under two notions: open-world (extension) and closed-world (conservative extension). Shows the closed-world case is strictly harder than open-world in both computational complexity and logical axiomatizability, and both are harder than integrity checking for complete-information databases.
