520    The Closed World Assumption (CWA) is an extremely 
       important concept in the database world, despite the fact 
       that it isn't usually spelled out explicitly. Basically 
       what it says is this: Everything stated by the database, 
       either explicitly or implicitly, is true; everything else 
       is false. This presentation explains the CWA in detail and
       shows why it's preferred over its rival, The Open World 
       Assumption (OWA). In particular, it examines the claims, 
       sometimes heard, to the effect that the database community
       operates under the CWA while the semantic web community 
       operates under the OWA. It also explains how "missing 
       information" can be handled without any need for nulls or 
       three-valued logic. The presentation is divided into four 
       modules. Module I lays some important groundwork, 
       discussing predicates and constraints in particular and 
       stressing the importance of database consistency. Module 
       II considers consistency in more detail and then discusses
       a simple example in depth, building to the conclusion that
       the OWA and the relational model are fundamentally and 
       irrevocably at odds with each other (which is why in 
       practice we always adopt the CWA). Module III then goes 
       into more depth on predicates and shows how to get "don't 
       know" answers out of the database (when appropriate) 
       without any need for nulls or three-valued logic (3VL). 
       Finally, Module IV shows how the CWA can even be used in 
       connection with predicates involving negation or 
       conjunction
