Synopsis
This book presents a novel approach to database concepts, describing a categorical logic for database schema mapping based on views, within a framework for database integration/exchange and peer-to-peer. Database mappings, database programming languages, and denotational and operational semantics are discussed in depth. An analysis method is also developed that combines techniques from second order logic, data modeling, co-algebras and functorial categorial semantics. Features: provides an introduction to logics, co-algebras, databases, schema mappings and category theory; describes the core concepts of big data integration theory, with examples; examines the properties of the DB category; defines the categorial RDB machine; presents full operational semantics for database mappings; discusses matching and merging operators for databases, universal algebra considerations and algebraic lattices of the databases; explores the relationship of the database weak monoidal topos w.r.t. intuitionistic logic.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Newspapers & Magazines
"All topics are studied
in detail consistently in terms of category theory. ... Each chapter of the book
ends with a couple of 'review questions'. Textbooks often provide teachers with
supplementary material indicating the correct answer - surely this will also be
the case here. Also by 'researchers interested in methods of computer science
used in databases and logics, and the original contributions - a category
theory applied to databases" will this book be well accepted." (Antonin Riha,
zbMATH, Vol. 1325. 68004, 2016)

"The author has written a number of papers on data integration theory and this book is a compendium of these papers ... . It would be an ideal companion for a research student working with theoretical database concepts." (M. S. Krishnamoorthy, Computing Reviews, September, 2014)
