We propose a new partial semantics for disjunctive deductive databases that we call disjunctive well-founded semantics. This semantics extends the classical well-founded semantics of normal databases for disjunctive databases. We give a declarative definition as well as a computational procedure for this new semantics. We prove that, in the case of disjunctive positive databases, i.e. disjunctive databases without negation, the disjunctive well-founded semantics coincides with the intersection of the minimal models.

A top-down method is presented for compiling queries in unstratified propositional disjunctive deductive databases under the disjunctive well-founded semantics. Compilation entails the construction of a set of compilation trees, and the run-time processing of the compiled query then amounts to checking that some such tree can be extended within the extensional database to yield a tree that encapsulates a proof of the original query. Issues surrounding the extension of our techniques to the first order level are discussed.

Cyclic covers are shown to characterise disjunctive stable models of unstratified deductive databases, and to facilitate top-down query processing, query compilation and view updating under the disjunctive stable model semantics. Such processing is shown to be more complex than comparable processing of stratified databases.
