the Deductive Database System DDBase
Declare is a collection of libraries for declarative programming including features fromdeveloped in SWI-Prolog. The deductive database system DDBase is part of the Declare.
- data and knowledge engineering,
- databases (relational, XML, deductive), ontologies, and
- non-monotonic reasoning
Declare
The Declare project started with building a system DisLog for non-monotonic reasoning in disjunctive deductive databases. In the meantime a variety of additional packages for different purposes has been implemented:Most of the packages are equipped with graphical user interfaces, that have been developed in the object-oriented extension XPCE of SWI-Prolog.
- a deductive database system DDBase
- management and querying of XML-data
- reasoning about programs in knowledge and software engineering
- artificial intelligence in various fields (including medicine, games, etc.)
- management of data in bio-informatics
- management, analysis, and visualisation of data from sports and stock information
Declare can be obtained as a tgz-archive (of about 9 MB) at
DDBase
DDBase uses the extension Datalogs of Datalog with function symbols. Rule bodies can contain embedded Prolog calls and default negation.It is possible to have bottom-up and top-down evaluation in one system. Datalogs can evaluate logic programs with Prolog syntax (extended Datalog programs) in a bottom-up style; it is designed to evaluate embedded Prolog calls in a top-down manner.
