Hello Lars,

you are right, that it is better to give an example of what I want to model.

If I have an text-article, which is located on the website
www.journal.com/article1.html, and in this article
the keyword to describe the article is "snowboard-tours", but there exists
also the keywords "only_families","wintersport","hotel","booking-agency",
"located-in" and
"Austria".
Now, I want to have the possibility to link the article (Occurrence of type
"website") in different ways:

1. link the article to the topic "snowboard-tours"

2. link the article to the association which contains
"wintersport","only_families" and "booking-agency" as players and is of type
"multiple association".

3. link the article to the association which contains "hotel" and "Austria"
as players and is of type "located-in".

4. a mix of the three preceding points 1-3; could be 1. and 2. or 1. and 3.
or 2. and 3. or 1. and 2. and 3.

Furthermore, if later on there exists another article2 which can be, for
example, best described by the bundle of keywords "snowboard-tours",
"wintersport" and "hotel", it should be possibleto link this article (as
occurrence) to an multiple association containing"snowboard-tours"
,"wintersport"and "hotel" as players, and so on.....



In general, I have a lot of text-documents (with an URL)  which can be best
described either by one keyword (topic) or by a "bundle" of keywords (
multiple association) ,
or by two keywords which are connected by a verb (association).

I hope this example is not to confusing and you can help me.

Cheers,


Armin
