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. 2010 urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-41457 Extern
