Abstract
In a computer system including a database system wherein queries to the database system can be specified by selecting a first object and a second object, with a query result being based on a relationship between the first object's metadata and the second object's metadata, relationships are generated by automatically populating a relationship matrix having undefined relation cells therein from pre-defined relationships represented by defined relation cells in the relationship matrix and transitively completing a local set of relationships defined in the relationship matrix.
