Abstract: . One source of partial information in databases is the need to combine information from several databases. Even if each database is complete for some "world", the combined databases will not be, and answers to queries against such combined databases can only be approximated. In this paper we describe various situations in which a precise answer cannot be obtained for a query asked against multiple databases. Based on an analysis of these situations, we propose a classification of constructs... (Update)

.... and or partial sets, has been investigated in depth in the context of relational and complex object databases [5, 7, 11, 14, 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, 30, 31, 39, 40]. Specific operators such as union [5] and join [7] are introduced to integrate partial information. However,...

.... This method is based on the ideas in [6, 7, 4, 20] 2 and is a refinement of the method underlying the model generator Satchmo [21, 9], which was originally developed for this kind of applications [4] The visualisation component was originally developed as a debugging...
