An Extended Tutorial and Vocabulary for Relational Language Design in an Era of AI-Assisted Query Generation

Summary: Tutorial develops a vocabulary and ARC/Relational Diagram framework for comparing relational notations by explicit structure and readability in AI-generated, human-revised queries. It extends prior work to recursive/path, nested, and beyond-PTIME queries through example-driven language comparisons. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
