- The paper proposed a radically new approach to answering database queries over incomplete databases, by rethinking the standard notion of certain query answers that had been used in practically all applications of incomplete data. It opened ways to design a new generation of efficient query evaluation algorithms with correctness guarantees. The conference version (KR 2014) received the best paper award (leading to an invitation to to Artificial Intelligence), formed the basis of a keynote talk at a leading database conference (ACM PODS) and also led to grants from EPSRC and the Wolfson Merit Award from the Royal Society.
