Abstract

Real world objects have various natural and complex relationships with each other and via these relationships, objects play various roles that form their context and then have the corresponding context-dependent properties. Existing data models such as object-oriented models and role models cannot naturally and directly represent such complex relationships and context-dependent properties. In this paper, we present a method to provide such natural and direct support.
