It enables uniform data representation and querying across multiple sources and can model domain knowledge without the limitations of binary predicates.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledMangle is a programming language for deductive database programming.
It is an extension of Datalog, with various extensions like aggregation, function calls and optional type-checking.
Deductive database programming is useful for bringing data from multiple data sources together since it enables us to represent and query that data in a uniform way.
It can also be used to model domain knowledge, similar to machine-readable ontology but without being restricted to binary predicates.
