Entity Modeling in the MLS Relational Model
Summary: Proposes belief-based semantics for MLS relational databases to describe entities and address polyinstantiation beyond syntactic fixes. Presents a compatible MLS syntax tied to semantics, yielding a simpler yet expressive model that preserves security. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
