Updating Databases in the Weak Instance Model
Summary: Presents a lattice-based framework for the weak-instance model, ordering database states by information content and characterizing all possible insertion and deletion outcomes (potential results). Defines insertion determinism when the GLB of potential results is attainable, gives effective case characterizations, and shows deletions have fewer cases since potential results always exist.
