 The Associative Model of Data is the
first major advance beyond the relational data model, which is
now over thirty years old.
The Associative Model is the only
scalable alternative to the relational model and surpasses it in
terms of ease of use, rapid implementation and Internet
characteristics while maintaining the same or better levels of
security, reliability and flexibility.
The Associative Model
is the first database architecture designed to reflect the structure
of data in the real world and the way that our brains perceive and
process information.
The Associative Model provides rapid
development and deployment, as well as the security and scalability
required by modern database management systems. Sentences and the
Associative Model provide many unique capabilities. |
| Many databases, one data
world: |
Using the Associative Model, separate
databases can be readily correlated or merged without extra
programming, and multiple databases distributed across many servers
can be accessed by applications as though they were a single
database.
These capabilities significantly reduce the cost
of amalgamating databases, and allow information to be readily
extracted from across multiple databases without the need for data
warehousing. |
| One program, many
applications |
Using the Associative Model, one set
of omnicompetent programs can be used to implement many different
applications without being altered or rewritten in any way, allowing
users to create new applications from existing ones.
The
saving in software development costs afforded by this capability
will be substantial. |
| Custom features for different
needs: |
Using the Associative Model,
applications can permit features to be used or ignored selectively
by individual users without the need for complex parameters or
customization.
This approach is ideally suited to the needs
of ASPs and package vendors alike. |
| Different data for different
customers |
Using the Associative Model, a
database can record information that is relevant only to one thing
of a particular type, without demanding that it be relevant to all
other things of the same type.
With this capability, we can
continue to enhance the quality of customer service and hone
competitive edge. |
