Abstract

Despite the fact that thousands of applications manipulate plans, there has been no work to date on managing large databases of plans. In this paper, we first propose a formal model of plan databases. We describe important notions of consistency and coherence for such databases. We then propose a set of operators similar to the relational algebra to query such databases of plans.
