[W/K] :: negation by failure


1 definition 
 for negation by failure
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) :

  negation by failure
       
          An extralogical feature of Prolog and other logic
          programming languages in which failure of unification is
          treated as establishing the negation of a relation.  For
          example, if Ronald Reagan is not in our database and we
          asked if he was an American, Prolog would answer "no".
       
          (1994-11-29)
