Summary: We investigate the notion of ``semicomputability'', intended to generalize the notion of recursive enumerability of relations to abstract structures. Two characterizations are considered and shown to be equivalent: one in terms of ``partial computable functions'' (for a suitable notion of computability over abstract structures) and one in terms of definability by means of Horn programs over such structures. This leads to the formulation of a ``Generalized Church-Turing Thesis'' for definability of relations on abstract structures.
