Probabilistic databases

Many applications today need to manage large data sets with uncertainties. In this paper we describe the foundations of managing data where the uncertainties are quantified as probabilities. We review the basic definitions of the probabilistic data model and present some fundamental theoretical results for query evaluation on probabilistic databases.
