Notice that inverse of this isomorphism
is the homomorphism:
: F ( Υ ), , ,T , , ¬ ,
0 , Υ ( Υ , , , ,, ¬ , ,R Υ ).
K K F , and
consequently, Log(K) can be different from IPC (**). In fact, we obtain:
Let
K K DB be a strict subset of all finite Kripke frames, so that
Lemma 26
K K DB of all finite rooted descriptive frames in
Proposition 72 , based on finite complete lattices ( Υ ,
For the subset

K

=
CPC .
This subset
K
corresponds to the subset of Heyting algebras in
HA DB with top
elements Υ obtained from finite database universes
U
.
Proof From the isomorphism (in Proposition 68 , when X
=

=
T ),
F

the top element Υ
=↓
R Υ is finite, thus defined by a finite universe
U
, i.e., when
J Υ ={

is finite, and hence from Lemma 23 , Υ
J Υ , i.e., Υ
=
T Υ
T J Υ ).
From the fact that CPC
=

enough to show that for each Heyting algebra
L alg = Ob DB sk ,

with finite set of atoms J Υ , for any closed database B

Ob DB sk , B

T(B

=

=

Ob DB sk , C
J C ,
that is, C
=

=
T J C . Thus,
T C

{

and hence J ¬ B = J Υ \ J B .
Consequently, J T(B ∪¬ B) = J B ∪¬ B = J B J ¬ B = J Υ , so that, from B ∪¬ B
J B ∪¬ B we obtain B

T(B

For example, the class of all database mapping systems with the universe equal to
a finite domain
dom , i.e., without Skolem constants and, consequently, with all
tgds without existential quantification on the right side of material implication (Data
Integration with complete information) has WMTL equal to classical propositional
logic.
Consequently, from the fact that the subset of all finite Heyting algebras in
HA DB defines the CPL, the intuitionistic property of WMTL has to be determined
by its subclass of infinite complete Heyting algebras.
Let us consider the infinite complete Heyting algebra obtained from the canonical
model of IPC , based on theories with disjunction property.
