We describe a functional database language OR-SML for handling disjunctive information in database queries, its implementation in Standard ML 10], and its interface to HOL90. The core language has the power of the nested relational algebra, and it is augmented with or-sets which are used to deal with disjunctive information. Sets, or-sets and tuples can be freely combined to create objects, whi...

I will address the questions posed to the panel from wlthln the context of a project at SRI, TEAM [Grosz, 1982b], that is developing techniques for transportable natural-language interfaces.
