Abstract: Several authors have proposed sketches as a suitable specification mechanism for specifying databases. When specifying a database, the finite models of the specification are of greatest importance, since an actual database is of course always a finite structure. In database theory however, it has recently been recognised that it is useful to allow for a restricted kind of infiniteness in the models of a data specification. The models are then so-called metafinite structures. In this paper, we... (Update)
