Abstract

Real world objects are essentially networked through various natural and complex relationships with each other. Existing data models such as semantic data models, object-oriented data models, and role models oversimplify and ignore such relationships and mainly focus on the roles that objects play, and properties they have with these roles independent of their relationships. As a result, they fail to naturally and directly model various kinds of relationships between objects, between objects and relationships, and between relationships, and support context-dependent representation and access to object properties. In this paper, we propose a novel data model called Information Networking Model that can overcome these limitations.
