ABSTRACT
In order to come to a unification of existing query algebras, especially for object bases, it is necessary to understand the semantic differences between different data models and associated query algebras. It is argued that all existing query algebras can be expressed by the operations provided by an underlying type system plus a single join-operator. This is still true, if rational tree types are allowed and if these are implemented by using object identifiers. The unification exploits the concept of structural recursion.

Lattice pseudoeffect algebras as double residuated structures
Special Issue on Evolutionary Fuzzy SystemsPseudoeffect algebras are partial algebraic structures which are non-commutative generalizations of effect algebras. The main result of the paper is a characterization of lattice pseudoeffect algebras in terms of so-called pseudo Sasaki algebras. In ...
Are basic algebras residuated structures?
MV-algebras are bounded commutative integral residuated lattices satisfying the double negation and the divisibility laws. Basic algebras were introduced as a certain generalization of MV-algebras (where associativity and commutativity of the binary ...
