Abstract
A multiargument relationship may be formally presented using the relational notation: R(X 1, X 2, ... , X n ), where R is the name of the relationship, and attributes X i denote keys of entity sets which participate in it. The dependencies between all n attributes describe the integrity constraints and must not be infringed. They constitute a restriction for relationships of fewer attributes. In the paper an analysis of fuzzy functional dependencies between attributes of R is presented. Attribute vales are given by means of possibility distributions.
