Abstract
This paper presents the concepts and mechanisms for maintaining semantic integrity of complex applications, which are provided by the knowledge base management system KRISYS. We discuss the integration of integrity maintenance into the global architecture of the system which is based on a workstation/server environment. As a result of our elaborations, we argue that semantic integrity should be handled in the knowledge model (at the workstation), leaving only basic consistency tasks for the data model (at the server).
