Title: Complex relationship Model

Abstract

Information about the real world has various complex relationships. In other words, it is networked. Existing semantic data models such as ER model, object models, object-role models and role models mainly focus on objects classification, their generalization/specialization, inheritance, semantic analysis of simple relationships, object migration, roles, etc independently. They only support simple relationship between object classes and complex relationships cannot be modeled naturally and directly. In this presentation, we propose a novel model called Complex Relationship Model that can model complex relationships between objects, between objects and relationships, and between relationships in a simple, natural, and direct way.
