Abstract
Relationship types are another important element in conceptual schemas, because they also play a fundamental role in the memory, informative, and active functions of information systems. Determining the relationship types that are relevant to an information system is one of the most important tasks in conceptual modeling. In this chapter, we study the nature and general characteristics of a relationship type.
