A Modal System of Algebras for Database Specification and Query/Update Language Support
Summary: Presents a modal, Hoare-style algebraic framework treating databases as dynamic objects whose possible worlds are correct many-sorted-algebra instances. Unifies schemas, queries, integrity/transition constraints, and application-specific updates as formal expressions. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
