are nothing new. But from my (Ralf Westphal's) point of view the representation of a relation space in a 2D coordinate system is new. And Erez may be right when he says that only if you map relations to a 2D space, the whole thing scales. As long as one tries to represent relations by bidirectionally linked data structures (e.g. objects), it is too slow in the end or eats too much memory.
If someone finds another way to implement binary bidirectional relations, which in turn can serve as parents for other relations, with the purpose of encoding data rather than storing it directly, then that would also be a pile implementation. (Ralf Westphal (2006), personal communication)

consists of a large amount of Relations (or Associations). Each Relation has a unique value, called a Handle. The OPE implements a Handle as a 32 bit value.
