Azamat, (01)
The first two pages of the reference chapter do not answer the question.
You are charging $30 (US) for access to the rest of the chapter. I
suggest that either you share your answer with this forum with text in
an email or if you don't have the time to distill an answer from the
20-page chapter, provide the PDF of the chapter for free to this forum. (02)
To answer Phil, another model for representing objects with n-ary
substructure and relationships among such objects is reifying the
objects in a language not restricted to binary relations. Semantic
languages that do this include the LISP-structured KIF and CycL. (03)
Standard object-oriented programming languages (Java, C++, ...) also
provide the capability. (04)
