Relational Specifications of Infinite Query Answers
Summary: Extends Datalog with functional rules to model infinite query answers; least fixpoints may be infinite. Represents infinite least fixpoints by finite relational specifications: a finite tuple set plus a congruence relation, applicable to domain-independent rule sets.
