From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
logic programming          A       {declarative}, {relational} style of programming based on       {first-order logic}.   The original logic programming language       was {Prolog}.   The concept is based on {Horn clauses}.          The programmer writes a "database" of "{facts}", e.g.          wet(water).          ("water is wet") and "{rules}", e.g.          mortal(X) :- human(X).          ("X is mortal is implied by X is human").   Facts and rules are       collectively known as "{clauses}".          The user supplies a "{goal}" which the system attempts to       prove using "{resolution}" or "{backward chaining}".   This       involves matching the current goal against each fact or the       left hand side of each rule using "{unification}".   If the       goal matches a fact, the goal succeeds; if it matches a rule       then the process recurses, taking each sub-goal on the right       hand side of the rule as the current goal.   If all sub-goals       succeed then the rule succeeds.          Each time a possible clause is chosen, a "{choice point}" is       created on a {stack}.   If subsequent {resolution} fails then       control eventually returns to the choice point and subsequent       clauses are tried.   This is known as "{backtracking}".          Clauses may contain {logic variable}s which take on any value       necessary to make the fact or the left hand side of the rule       match a goal.   Unification binds these variables to the       corresponding subterms of the goal.   Such bindings are       associated with the {choice point} at which the clause was       chosen and are undone when backtracking reaches that choice       point.          The user is informed of the success or failure of his first       goal and if it succeeds and contains variables he is told what       values of those variables caused it to succeed.   He can then       ask for alternative solutions.          (1997-07-14)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
logic variable          A variable in a {logic programming} language       which is initially undefined ("unbound") but may get bound to       a value or another logic variable during {unification} of the       containing clause with the current {goal}.   The value to which       it is bound may contain other variables which may themselves       be bound or unbound.          For example, when unifying the clause          sad(X) :- computer(X, ibmpc).          with the goal          sad(billgates).          the variable X will become bound to the atom "billgates"       yielding the new subgoal "computer(billgates, ibmpc)".          (1995-03-14)
