(bottom-up operational procedure for computing well-founded models of allowed DATALOG programs with negation - handling programs that involve unstratified negation in a manner that may be mixed with other evaluation approaches, like seminaive evaluation; classes of programs and sips for which the magic sets transformation preserves well-founded semantics wrt the query - stratified programs, modularly stratified programs (left-to-right sips), programs with three-valued well-founded models (with well-founded sips)).
