The Role of Integrity Constraints in Database Interoperation

Summary: Integrity constraints enable interoperation by deriving integrated view's global validity from local constraints and constraining the integration spec. Objectivity and subjectivity quantify cross-context validity in interoperation, guiding semantic checks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
