Each element in the weak entity set must have a relationship with exactly one element in the owner entity set, [1] and therefore, the relationship cannot be a many-to-many ...

  3. Triadic closure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triadic_closure

    In a social network, strong triadic closure occurs because there is increased opportunity for nodes A and C with common neighbor B to meet and therefore create at least weak ties. Node B also has the incentive to bring A and C together to decrease the latent stress in two separate relationships.

    Strong coupling does not allow this. This is a UML diagram illustrating an example of loose coupling between a dependent class and a set of concrete classes, which provide the required behavior: For comparison, this diagram illustrates the alternative design with strong coupling between the dependent class and a provider:

  8. Associative entity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_entity

    An associative entity is a term used in relational and entityrelationship theory. A relational database requires the implementation of a base relation (or base table) to resolve many-to-many relationships. A base relation representing this kind of entity is called, informally, an associative table. An associative entity (using Chen notation)

  9. Situational strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situational_strength

    A meta-analysis was performed by Bowling et al. to test the relationship of situational strength between job satisfaction and job performance. The results of this were that constraints and consequences both led to a negative relationship. Job satisfaction and job performance were more related to each other in strong versus weak situations.
