Extending Dependencies with Conditions

Summary: Introduces conditional inclusion dependencies (CINDs), extending INDs with bindings over semantically related values for data cleaning and contextual schema matching. CINDs are always consistent and finitely axiomatizable; implication is PSPACE/EXPTIME-complete, while combining CINDs with CFDs is undecidable. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
