The relational model is in use by many database systems. Object oriented
technology is also widely used in database application development. But
“object-relational impedance mismatch” was found between the two approaches.
However, in the study behind the Object-Relation-Kin model, the REAL mismatch is
revaluated, and the Object-Relational Mapping approach is found being actually
mapping between the Network Model and the SQL interface.
The Object-Relation-Kin model is then derived from the relational model and the
entity-relationship model, to better consolidate object technology and the
relational model without defective mappings.
Ableverse™ TheObjectBase as the DBMS and WebOfWeb as the blueprint project
are showing a feasible solution in the Java™ programming language as
realworld practices, on the basis of this new data model.
