On the Algebraic Specification of Databases
Summary: Presents a uniform algebraic framework for database abstractions, static/dynamic constraints, and functional query/update languages. Develops syntactic and semantic analysis plus implementation behavior and algebraic soundness conditions grounded in database theory. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
