The data exchange problem arises when we require data (called source instance) structured under one schema (source schema) to be translated into an instance (target instance) of a different schema (target schema), reflecting the source instance as accurately as possible, ie satisfying source-to-target dependences. Of course, in most cases there are many valid target instances corresponding to a particular problem-we can think of the solution of this problem as an indefinite database consisting of all possible target instances that are valid. So we can adapt the notion of certain answers used in the theory of incomplete databases for the semantics of query answering in data exchange, ie we focus only on those positive answers that hold in every target instance that satisfies the source-to-target dependences. In this paper we consider existential Boolean queries and the local-as-view (LAV) setting, which is a widely used, special case of the general data exchange problem setting.
