Abstract

Maintaining the integrity of the knowledge represented within database rules is a complex business. In order to analyse the maintenance of integrity, a uniform framework for the representation of both data and database rules is introduced. A conceptual model is constructed using this uniform framework. The maintenance of the integrity of this conceptual model is analysed. In particular a generalised form of normalisation enables both the data and the database rules to be engineered so that they are maintainable in a technical sense. Database integrity is also protected by a comprehensive range of constraints including knowledge constraints
