Abstract: Databases are often incomplete because of the presence
of disjunctive information, due to conflicts, partial knowledge
and other reasons. Queries against such databases
often ask questions about various possibilities encoded by
the stored data, rather than the stored data itself. Normalization,
which is a mechanism for asking such queries,
was presented in [LW93a]; however, it had exponential
space complexity.
The main goal of this paper is to develop a general
theory of answering queries... (Update)
