Abstract
Integration of autonomous sources of information is one of the most important problems in implementation of the global information systems. This paper considers multidatabase systems as one of the typical architectures of global information services and addresses a problem of storing and processing inconsistent information in such systems. A new data model proposed in the paper separates sure from inconsistent information and introduces a system of elementary operations on the containers with sure and inconsistent information. A review of the implementation aspects in an environment of a typical relational database management system concludes the paper.
