Abstract

Nebula modell_ing is_ a generalised structural modelling technique which applies to any finite set of objects (entities) and n-ary relat1onsh1ps (n ~2). A nebula model can be presented in either diagrammatic or tabular form, and combines the properties of graph (binary) data models with those of tabular (relational) data models. We give a brief introduction to nebula data modelling by means of a simple illustration.
