Relative Knowledge in a Distributed Database (Extended Abstract)
Summary: Introduces "relative knowledge": the information a user can deduce from a database using only their view‑generated query sublanguage L_i. Develops a semantic model and proof theory for this notion and analyzes applications to database security (view‑based disclosure) and integrity. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
