ULDBs: Databases with Uncertainty and Lineage

Summary: Introduces ULDBs, a relational representation unifying uncertain data with lineage, enabling correlated uncertainty propagation and efficient query processing. Establishes completeness, minimization notions, subset extraction under interconnected uncertainty, and probabilistic-database execution. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
