Using Design Axioms and Topology to Model Database Semantics
Summary: Introduces a database-semantics model combining six design axioms with topology to constrain entity-type composition along well-defined paths. It unifies intension/extension, models specialization as subset hierarchies, and preserves sound, complete Armstrong reasoning for functional dependencies. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
