The Semantic Data Model: A Modelling Mechanism for Data Base Applications
Summary: Introduces the Semantic Data Model (SDM) as a natural application modelling mechanism expressing the semantic structures of contemporary database applications. SDM supports derived information alongside primitives, enabling formal specification, documentation, and design-time tooling for DB schemas and interfaces. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
