This paper addresses integrity rules that are embedded within engineering design applications and that apply between applications. A representation for integrity rules that are embedded in applications is presented and a set of related methods developed for: (a.) maintaining the integrity condition of application developed data, (b) managing the precedence order between applications, in the context of (c.) changing the schema and the associated mix of applications and (d.) iterated execution of applications and change propagation. Both integrity rules literally embedded within external applications and others required to be embedded within a database are considered. The techniques are demonstrated with an extensive example.

The purpose of this work is to develop automatic methods of semantic integrity maintenance, in support of concurrent engineering. Semantic integrity relations in any final engineering design are built up incrementally, through the use of different computer applications. Here, the structure of these integrity relations are formalized for representation within a database. When changes to a design have to be made, they can invalidate integrity relations in other parts of the design. Formal methods are defined for identifying what data and integrity relations are invalidated by any change. Methods for making changes that minimize re-design are described and formalized. Opportunities for using semantic integrity to assess progress on a design are reviewed.
