Abstract: A general logic program (abbreviated to "program" hereafter) is a set of rules that have both positive and negative subgoals. It is common to view a deductive database as a general logic program consisting of rules (IDB) sitting above elementary relations (EDB, facts). It is desirable to associate one Herbrand model with a program and think of that model as the "meaning of the program," or its "declarative semantics." Ideally, queries directed to the program would be answered in accordance with ... (Update)
