Base de données où l'information contenue implicitement peut être déduite à l'aide de règles d'après les renseignements qui se trouvent dans la base.

CONT

Les relations de parenté entre individus sont une bonne illustration de l'utilisation des bases de données déductives. [...] On suppose que l'on a une base de données qui représente les relations «père-fils» [...]. Une règle très simple permet de définir un lien de parenté «ancêtre» : Si père-fil(X, Y) et père-fils(Y,Z), alors ancêtre(X,Z).
