Abstract: We study an approach to relational databases which
treats relations not as subsets of a Cartesian product
but as subsets of some domain -- a partially ordered
space of descriptions. This approach permits generalizations
of relations that admit null values and variants.
In previous work it was shown how to define the notion
of a relation scheme in such a setting. Here we provide
a characterization of a scheme that is more general,
and show that operations analogous to projection, selection
and... (Update)
