Abstract
This paper presents the seven modeling constructs of a Semantic Association Model (SAM*) and their application in modeling the CAD/CAM data used in a computer integrated manufacturing system. The database management requirements of a CIM system are described. Several data modeling requirements in the context of integrated manufacturing are presented. They include 1) complex data types, 2) temporal, positional and procedural relationships, 3) hierarchies of data structures, 4) recursive definition of data objects, 4) complex data objects, 5) generalization and attribute inheritance, 6) modeling partitioned and replicated data, 7) naming and describing a class of entities, 8) modeling of versions, and 9) the distinction between category and summary attributes. Examples drawn from are actual CIM database are given to illustrate how these modeling requirements are met by using the seven semantic constructs of SAM*.
