โฆ Synopsis
An operational
and a minimal model semantics for logic programming modules is introduced.
It is shown that this semantics corresponds to the recursion theoretic notion of enumeration operator. Basic operations on modules, such as composition and recursion, are discussed. The adequacy of these operations is established by showing that all logic programming can be done, in principle, by combining certain elementary modules using these basic operations. a

A complete formal semantic description of a practical programming language (such as Java) is likely to be a lengthy document, regardless of which semantic framework is being used. Good modularity of the description is important to the person(s) developing it, to facilitate reuse, change, and extensi
