[HTML][HTML] Causes for query answers from databases: Datalog abduction, view-updates, and integrity constraints

L Bertossi, B Salimi - International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2017 - Elsevier
Causality has been recently introduced in databases, to model, characterize, and possibly
compute causes for query answers. Connections between QA-causality and consistency …
