Sideway Value Algebra for Object-Relational Databases

Summary: Introduces sideway value algebra (SVA) and SQL extensions to attach and propagate sideway values in ORDBs for ranking. Defines SVA join and TClosure (recursive) to derive, rank, and prune results; experiments on DBLP validate performance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
