This chapter discusses ways in which rough-set theory can enhance databases by allowing for the management of uncertainty. Rough sets can be integrated into an underlying database model, relational or object oriented, and also used in the design and uerying of databases, because roughsets are a versatile theory, theories. The authors discuss the rough relational databases model, the rough object-oriented database model, and fuzzy set and intuitionistic set extensions to each of these models. Comparisons and benefits of the various approaches are discussed, illustrating the usefulness and versatility of rough sets for uncertainty management in databases. INtrODUctION Rough-set theory has become well established since first introduced by Pawlak in the 1970s. It is based on two simple concepts: indiscernibility and approximation regions. Rough-set theory is a formal theory, mathematically sound. It has been applied to several areas of research such as logic and knowledge discovery, and has been implemented in various applications in the real world. Because of rough sets’ ability to define uncertain things in terms of certain, definable things, it is a natural mechanism for integrating real-world uncertainty in computerized databases. Moreover, other uncertainty-management techniques may be combined with rough sets to
