| Role Name Location | Silverrun is a data modeling tool intended to be used with ER Methodology/Notation. The following example assumes an entity A called "Car", and entity B called "Person" connected with an "AB" relationship called "Ownership" Link Origin (ER Modeling Style)" (DEFAULT VALUE) means: - The "AtoB" role name is located on the source (close to "A") - The "AtoB" role name is supposed to be a "verb" qualifying the role from entity "A", causing the AtoB role name to be next the source A object. Link Destination (UML Modeling Style): - The "AtoB" role name is located on the destination (close to "B") - The "AtoB" role name is supposed to be a "noun" qualifying the entity "B", causing the AtoB role name is next the destination B object. |
