The OMT-G handles three types of integrity constraints: Topological integrity constraints:
Geometric properties and definitions of spatial relations are
applied to application-specific entities and relationships to provide a
basis for integrity control. In OMT-G, topological integrity
constraints are achieved through spatial aggregation, spatial
relations, connectivity, and geo-field integrity rules. Semantic integrity constraints:
They concern with the meaning of geographic features. These constraints
are implmented in OMT-G through spatial relationship integrity rules. User-defined integrity constraints: They
are equivalent to business rules of traditional database systems.
They are implemented in OMT-G as methods associated with classes.
