CONCEPT OF RELATIONSHIPSETS IN ENTITY DATA MODEL (EDM)
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates addressing complex modeling, comprising:
- an interface that receives data; and
an entity data model that formalizes a notion of at least one of a Relationship type, a Relationship instance, and a Relationship Set in a manner substantially similar to at least one of an Entity type, an Entity instance, and an entity-set respectively.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates addressing complex modeling. An entity data model that can receive data via an interface and that formalizes a notion of at least one of a Relationship, a Relationship instance, and a Relationship Set in a manner substantially similar to at least one of an Entity type, an Entity instance, and an entity-set respectively, wherein a semantic related to the at least one of the Relationship, the Relationship instance, and the Relationship Set are captured as metadata in the same manner as metadata is captured for at least one of the Entity type, the Entity instance, and the Entity-set, respectively.

means for receiving data; and means for formalizing a notion of at least one of a Relationship, a Relationship instance, and a Relationship Set in a manner substantially similar to at least one of an Entity type, an Entity instance, and an entity-set respectively, wherein a semantic related to the at least one of the Relationship, the Relationship instance, and the Relationship Set are captured as metadata in the same manner as metadata is captured for at least one of the Entity type, the Entity instance, and the Entity-set, respectively.
