&lt;code&gt;
| ...
|   The Associative Model of Data  is  an  alternative
|   data model for database systems.
|   
|    Other data models, such as  the  relational  model
|   and  the  object  data  model  are   record-based.
|   Record-based    models    involve     encompassing
|   attributes about a thing,  such  as  a  car  in  a
|   record  structure  (where  attributes   might   be
|   registration, colour, make, model, etc).
|   
|    In the associative  model,  everything  which  has
|   “discrete independent existence” is modeled as  an
|   entity, and relationships between them are modeled
|   as associations.
