Abstract
Data bases are one form of modeling parts of the real world. They may contain descriptions of technical systems, of enterprises, of scientific activities, of landscapes (geographical information systems), or other domains. The world of data bases is the world of digital computers, one of the most typical dichotomous systems. It is, therefore, not surprising that the type of storage is crisp and that all data processing, e.g. input, storage, querying is crisp, no matter whether the factual relationships described in a database are crisp or uncertain or fuzzy.
