Reasoning

The ability to make logical deductions from the information that is explicitly available in the database.

Semantic reasoning infers new facts from existing data using rules or ontologies, adding context and valuable insights. It's a form of Semantic AI, where declarative rules define logical connections in the data, and new facts are derived through pre-materialization or query rewriting.
