RelationType

Implements traits:

  • Clone

  • Debug

  • Eq

  • PartialEq<RelationType>

  • RelationTypeAPI

  • StructuralEq

Relation types (or subtypes of the relation root type) represent relationships between types. Relation types have roles.

Other types can play roles in relations if it’s mentioned in their definition.

A relation type must specify at least one role.

RoleType

Implements traits:

  • Eq

Roles are special internal types used by relations. We can not create an instance of a role in a database. But we can set an instance of another type (role player) to play a role in a particular instance of a relation type.

Roles allow a schema to enforce logical constraints on types of role players.

AttributeType

Implements traits:

  • AttributeTypeAPI

  • Clone

  • Debug

  • PartialEq<AttributeType>

  • StructuralPartialEq

  • ThingTypeAPI

Attribute types represent properties that other types can own.

Attribute types have a value type. This value type is fixed and unique for every given instance of the attribute type.

Other types can own an attribute type. That means that instances of these other types can own an instance of this attribute type. This usually means that an object in our domain has a property with the matching value.

Multiple types can own the same attribute type, and different instances of the same type or different types can share ownership of the same attribute instance.
