ABSTRACT:
A method, system and article of manufacture for managing relationships in a data abstraction model abstractly describing data in a database. One embodiment provides a method of linking logical branches of data in a database based on the relationships. The method includes accessing a data abstraction model abstractly describing the data in the database. The data abstraction model defines a logical tree structure having a plurality of logical branches. Relationships between logical fields of different logical branches are identified and logical links abstractly describing the identified relationships are created.
