Abstract

This paper elaborates upon the problem of modeling complex relationships in database models. The relationship type is complex when its definition holds IS-A or HAS-A meta-relationships between distinct relationship types. The framework of the considerations is Association-Oriented Database Metamodel, a novel solution dedicated for modeling and implementation of database layer for compound, e.g. knowledge-based systems. The contribution of the paper is a set of design constructions that enable the model designer to define polymorphic and structured relationships in Association-Oriented Database Metamodel.
