◮ A database (instance) D for R is a (possibly infinite) set of atoms
with predicates from a finite set of predicate symbols R and
arguments from a set of data constants ∆.
D = {sport(s1), sport(s2), relax(r1), relax(r2), adv(a1), adv(a2),
museum(m1), museum(m2), park(p1), free entrance(p1)}.
◮ A conjunctive query (CQ) over R has the form Q(X) = ∃Y Φ(X, Y),
where Φ(X, Y) is a conjunction of atoms
Q(X) = park(X) ∧ free entrance(X).
◮ A Boolean CQ (BCQ) over R is a CQ of the form Q(), often written
as the set of all its atoms, without quantifiers.
Q() = ∃Xpark(X) ∧ free entrance(X).

◮ Answers to CQs and BCQs are defined via homomorphisms, which
are mappings µ: ∆ ∪ ∆N ∪ V → ∆ ∪ ∆N ∪ V such that
1. c ∈ ∆ (set of constants) implies µ(c) = c,
2. c ∈ ∆N (set of labelled nulls) implies µ(c) ∈ ∆ ∪ ∆N ,
3. µ is naturally extended to atomic formula, sets of atomic formulas,
and conjunctions of atomic formulas.
◮ The set of all answers Q(D) is the set of all tuples t over a set of
data constants s.t. ∃µ µ: X ∪ Y → ∆ ∪ ∆N s.t. µ(Φ(X, Y)) ⊆ D and
µ(X) = t.
D = {sport(s1), sport(s2), relax(r1), relax(r2), adv(a1), adv(a2),
museum(m1), museum(m2), park(p1), free entrance(p1)}.
For Q(X) = park(X) ∧ free entrance(X)
the set of all answers over D is Q(D) = {p1}.
For Q() = ∃Xpark(X) ∧ free entrance(X)
the answer is YES.

◮ Tuple-generating dependency (TGD): constraint of the form
∀X∀Y Φ(X, Y) → ∃Z Ψ(X, Z), where Φ(X, Y) and Ψ(X, Z) are
conjunctions of atoms over a set of predicates R, called the body
and the head, respectively.
museum(X) → SS(X)
◮ For a database D for R, and a set of TGDs Σ on R, the set of
models of D and Σ, denoted mods(D, Σ), is the set of all (possibly
infinite) databases B such that
◮ D ⊆ B and
◮ every σ ∈ Σ is satisfied in B.
◮ The set of answers for a CQ Q to D and Σ, denoted ans(Q, D, Σ),
is the set of all tuples a such that a ∈ Q(B) for all B ∈ mods(D, Σ).

The Chase
◮ The chase is a procedure for repairing a DB relative to a set of
dependencies.
◮ D ∪ Σ |= Q iff chase(D, Σ) |= Q.
◮ A TGD σ is guarded iff it contains an atom in its body that contains
all universally quantified variables of σ.
σ1 : P(X) ∧ R(X, Y ) ∧ Q(Y ) → ∃R(Y , Z) YES.
σ2 : R(X, Y ) ∧ R(Y , Z) → R(X, Z) NO.
If Σ consists of guarded TGDs, CQs can be evaluated on a fragment
of constant depth k ∗ |Q|, PTIME in data complexity.

TGD Chase
Informally, a TGD σ is applicable in a DB D if body(σ) maps to atoms in
D. If not already in D, the application of σ on D adds an atom with fresh
nulls corresponding to each existentially quantified variable in head(σ).
Example. Let O = (D, Σ) be an ontology describing travel activities:
Σ = {museum(X) → SS(X), park(A) → SS(A),
SS(A) → act(A), relax(X) → act(X),
adv(X) → act(X), sport(X) → act(X),

A GPP-Datalog+/– ontology has the form KB = (O, U, M, ⊗, ),
where
◮ O is a Datalog+/– ontology
◮ U = (U1, . . . , Un) is a group preference model with n 1
◮ M is a probabilistic model (with Herbrand bases HOnt, HPref,
and HM, respectively, such that HPref ⊆ HOnt)
◮ ⊗ is a preference merging operator
◮ is the preference aggregation operator
We say that KB is a guarded iff O is guarded.

DAQ queries
Definition
Let KB = (O, U, M, ⊗, ) be a GPP-Datalog+/– ontology, where
U = (U1, . . . , Un), and Q(X) = q1(X1) ∨ · · · ∨ qn(Xn) be a DAQ. Then, a
skyline answer to Q relative to ≻∗
= (⊗(≻U1
, ≻M ), . . . , ⊗(≻Un
, ≻M )) is
any θqi entailed by O such that no θ′
exists with O |= θ′
qj and
θ′
qj ≻∗
θqi , where θ and θ′
are ground substitutions for the variables in
Q(X).
A substitution is a mapping from variables to variables or constants.
◮ Intuitively, a skyline-answer is an answer that is the most preferred.
◮ A 1-rank answer is a skyline answer
◮ A 2-rank answer is the first and second most preferred answers.

Theorem
Let KB = (O, U, M, ⊗, ) be a GPP-Datalog+/– ontology, Q be a
DAQ, and k 0. If O is a guarded Datalog+/– ontology and the
removeCycles subroutine does not remove any unnecessary edges, then
Algorithm k-Rank-CSU
◮ correctly computes k-rank answers to Q
◮ Complexity: O(poly(|D|) · S + C) time in the data complexity, where
S is the cost of computing score(a) = PrKB (a) for any atom a such
that O |= a, and C is the cost of removeCycles.

Summary
◮ Extension of Datalog+/– that allows for dealing with both partially
ordered preferences of groups of users and probabilistic uncertainty.
◮ We have focused on answering DAQs (disjunctions of atomic
queries) k-rank queries in this context.
◮ Presented different operators to compute group preferences as a
merging and an aggregation of the preferences of single users with
probability-based preferences and with each other, respectively.
◮ We have then provided algorithms to answer k-rank queries
for DAQs under these group preferences.
◮ We have shown that, under certain reasonable conditions, such DAQ
answering in Datalog+/– can be done in polynomial time in the
data complexity.

◮ Explore which of the merging/aggregation operators is similar to
human judgment and thus well-suited as a general default

Social Semantic Web.
