Abstract

An algebraic approach to evaluate non-Horn rules in disjunctive databases is presented. Tabular structures, called C-tables, are used to represent disjunctive facts. Algebraic operations on C-tables are used to evaluate non-Horn rules. A new operator called Project-Or is introduced which enables us to compute disjunctive facts implied by the non-Horn rules.
