+== Simple object model ==
+
+The two conceptual entities of the general object model are objects and relations.
+
+Objects have a type and an arbitrary number of attributes. The objects type is mostly another attribute to facilitate the selection of possible attributes in a user interface. There is no inheritance between object types or enforcement of attributes (except in the user interface). 
+
+Attributes that do not apply can be omitted and additional attributes can be added at any later time.
