| Abstract: |
Derived datasets can be defined implicitly or explicitly. An implicit definition (of dataset in terms of datasets ) is a logical specification involving the source data and the interface data . It is a valid definition of in terms of , if any two models of the specification agreeing on agree on . In contrast, an explicit definition is a query that produces from . Variants of Beth’s theorem state that one can convert implicit definitions to explicit ones.Further, this conversion can be done effectively given a proof witnessing implicit definability in a suitable proof system. We prove the analogous effective implicit-to-explicit result for nested relations: implicit definitions, given in the natural logic for nested relations,can be effectively converted to explicit definitions in the nested relational calculus (NRC). As a consequence, we can effectively extract rewritings of NRC queries in terms of NRC views, given aproof witnessing that the query is determined by the views. |
