We define when a ternary term $m$ of an algebraic language $\mathcal{L}$ is called a \textit{distributive nearlattice term} (DN-term) of a sentential logic $\mathcal{S}$. Distributive nearlattices are ternary algebras generalising Tarski…

A natural liberalization of Datalog is used in the Distributed Knowledge Authorization Language (DKAL). We show that the expressive power of this liberal Datalog is that of existential fixed-point logic. The exposition is self-contained.
