Do you mean, with the constraint database model (by Kanellakis et al.) in general or with the results in that specific paper?

I think that constraint databases might be a nice complement to Norbert's topological model. They might provide an alternative way to represent the geometry of cw-complexes, for example. Then, you would encode both geometric and topological information in a purely relational way.
