Deductive databases normally represent knowledge using stratified Datalog programs with default negation. But many practical applications of forward chaining require an extensible set of user-defined built-in predicates. Moreover, they often need function symbols for building complex data structures, and the stratified fixpoint iteration has to be extended by aggregation operations. We present an new language Datalog*, which extends Datalog by stratified meta-predicates (including default negation), function symbols, and user-defined built-in predicates, which are implemented and evaluated top-down in Prolog. All predicates are subject to the same backtracking mechanism. The bottom-up fixpoint iteration can aggregate the derived facts after each iteration based on user-defined Prolog predicates.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HanusKoschnicke2010, author = {Hanus, Michael and Koschnicke, Sven}, title = {An ER-based framework for declarative web programming}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-41447}, year = {2010}, abstract = {We describe a framework to support the implementation of web-based systems to manipulate data stored in relational databases. Since the conceptual model of a relational database is often specified as an entity-relationship (ER) model, we propose to use the ER model to generate a complete implementation in the declarative programming language Curry. This implementation contains operations to create and manipulate entities of the data model, supports authentication, authorization, session handling, and the composition of individual operations to user processes. Furthermore and most important, the implementation ensures the consistency of the database w.r.t. the data dependencies specified in the ER model, i.e., updates initiated by the user cannot lead to an inconsistent state of the database. In order to generate a high-level declarative implementation that can be easily adapted to individual customer requirements, the framework exploits previous works on declarative database programming and web user interface construction in Curry.}, language = {en} }
