Summary
In part I of this paper, a mathematical model for data structures has been presented. Based on this model and on a corresponding formalized notion of retrieval operation, a model for storage access systems is introduced, which is called a Q-system. Equivalence, separation, and decomposition of Q-systems are studied, resulting in a set of basic principles for transforming Q-systems. These can be used for a systematical description of practical storage access systems for multi-attribute-retrieval.
