Abstract :
Semantic data models have been influenced by abstraction techniques used in knowledge representation. Early semantic models concentrated on the structural aspects of an application. More recently, researchers in semantic modeling have realized the importance of capturing the dynamic and temporal aspects of an application as well. This paper presents a detailed and uniform analysis of the structural, dynamic, and temporal aspects of object-oriented semantic models that support classification, aggregation, generalization, and association abstractions.
