Element Algebra

Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS 2009)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5968))

Abstract

An element algebra supporting the element calculus is proposed. The input and output of our algebra are xdm-elements. Formal definition of element algebra is offered. We consider algebraic expressions as mappings. A reduction of the element calculus to the element algebra is suggested.
