Part II. Integrity Constraints

For catching various cases of flawed data, we need to define suitable integrity constraints that can be used by the application's data validation mechanisms. Integrity constraints may take many different forms. The most important type of integrity constraints are property constraints, which define conditions on the admissible property values of an object.
