abstract = "An introduction is given to the use of formal
semantics as a means of both specifying relational
query languages and of establishing a conceptual basis
for their analysis. The approach is demonstrated with
respect to the relational calculus and then extended to
cope with the more advanced constructs of SEQUEL and
QUEL.",
