Yes, Virginia, there are Universal Relationships!

Thursday, February 29, 2024, 10:15 - 11:15 a.m.

Description: Without relationships, there would be no useful databases. However, we tend to focus on the entities and devote much less attention and rigor to the relationships in our data models. While you already are familiar with "type of" and "part of", we will also explore “transformation of”, “instantiated as”, “located in”, and other universal relationships that occur in data models across many industries. You will see how to create domain-specific relationships derived from these universal relationships. Using universal relationships will make your data models more consistent, help to recognize patterns, and help your model audience understand both your models and the world better.

After this presentation, you will think about relationships differently and treat them as first-class citizens in your data models!
