ORN Additive is a prototype tool that was developed to show how the gap between database modeling and implementation can be reduced--more specifically, to show how associations defined in data models can be more directly mapped to and better supported by a relational database management system (DBMS) and done so in a powerful way. The "additive," Object Relationship Notation (ORN), allows database developers to extend the multiplicities given in UML class diagrams with "bindings" to model the semantics of a wide variety of association types. The tool, ORN Additive, lets them add this ORN to the foreign key constraints given for a Microsoft SQL Server database. This allows simple to complex association semantics to be included in the database?s metadata and supported by the enhanced DBMS. Such support means that associations are implemented as modeled without DBMS users having to develop and maintain complex constraints, triggers, and/or procedural code.
