A Denotational Definition of the Semantics of DRC, A Domain Relational Calculus
Summary: Provides a precise, compact denotational semantics for Domain Relational Calculus in which every formula denotes a relation. Aligns DRC directly with generalized relational-algebra operations, illustrating semantics-driven query-language design. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
