Abstract

We consider Datalogneg databases containing two kinds of rules: update rules and query rules. We regard update rules as constraints, all consequences of which must hold in the database until a new update. We introduce a semantics framework for database updates and query answering based on the well-founded semantics. In this framework, updating over intensional predicates is deterministic.
