From the Author

General Description
This book describes a methodology for the design of knowledge-based systems and deductive database systems. It is intended for researchers and professionals who are concerned with the maintenance of large systems.

This methodology:

· represents the data, information and knowledge in a single unified formalism; · constructs a requirements model, conceptual model, functional model and internal model; · represents constraints on the data, information and knowledge in the four models; · employs a practical schema notation that is grounded in the lambda calculus; · builds a maintenance mechanism into the design; and · employs a generalised form of normalisation to simplify the maintenance requirements of the design.

The book contains a substantial case study to illustrate the methodology.

The book contains new results and methods that are not available elsewhere.
