Abstract
The article provides a concise discussion of autoreference database design pattern (recursive relationship) which allows elements to directly reference other elements with the same type. The paper introduces modeling of autoreferential relationships in Association-Oriented Database Metamodel in regard to its semantic capabilities, i.e. freedom of defining multiplicity on both sides of relationships, connecting associations with each other and composition providing lifetime dependency.
