An important characteristic of these systems is the clear separation of logic and control. However, the programmer cannot affect the control part of a deductive database system. To eliminate this deficiency, this monograph presents a so-called expert deductive database system that allows explicit control of the deduction process. The system consists of an object-level describing the logical aspects of a problem and of a meta-level that contains application-specific control information affecting the object-level deduction process. For example, object-level rules can be disregarded, and some tuples deduced at the object-level can be preferred to others. Besides the architecture of this system, the book also identifies some important possibilities of deduction control which are explained by characteristic examples.Lecture Notes in Computer Science,0302-9743 ;479Data structures (Computer science)Database managementArtificial intelligenceData Structures and Information Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I15009Database Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18024Artificial Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000Data structures (Computer science).Database management.Artificial intelligence.Data Structures and Information Theory.Database Management.Artificial Intelligence.005.74Schmidt Helmutauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut496341BOOK996465384303316Meta-Level control for deductive database systems1501925UNISA
