Union Types for Semistructured Data
Peter Buneman,Benjamin C. Pierce +1 more
TL;DR: A system of untagged union types that can accommodate variations in structure while still allowing a degree of static type checking is described, and algorithms for subtyping and typechecking are developed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Combining dependent annotations for relational algebra
Egor V. Kostylev,Peter Buneman +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that there are many cases in which annotations, for quite natural reasons, depend on one another, and the appropriate structure to place on such annotations is shown.
Book ChapterDOI
On the expressiveness of implicit provenance in query and update languages
TL;DR: This paper takes the view that a query or update implicitly defines a provenance mapping linking components of the output to the originating components in the input, and that the proposed semantics are expressively complete relative to natural classes of queries that explicitly manipulate provenance.
Book
Static type inference for parametric classes
Atsushi Ohori,Peter Buneman +1 more
TL;DR: A static type system is proposed that achieves integration in an ML-like polymorphic language by adding a class construct that allows the programmer to build a hierarchy of classes connected by multiple inheritance declarations.
