Provenance Semirings
Summary: Comm. semirings unify provenance: bag, probabilistic, incomplete DBs and why‑provenance are instances and positive relational-algebra semantics factor through semiring homomorphisms. Proposes polynomial/formal‑power‑series provenance, extends to Datalog via fixed‑point semirings and gives algorithms to decide/compute finite series and monomial coefficients.
