Abstract
We investigate the declarative semantics of deductive databases and logic
programs. We introduce the class of perfect models of a deductive database and
argue that this class of models—enjoying many of the properties of the class of
minimal models—provides a correct intended semantics for such databases, in-
corporating a natural form of the closed-world assumption.
We extend the notion of stratified logic programs onto the class of deduc-
tive databases, and we prov ...
