Semantic data structure

Hi, I need an opinion on how to implement a semantic network type data structure for the following example.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...mantic_Net.svg

I thought of creating classes for both relationship types and entity types and then to include two pointers in relationship types class, where entity types can be linked

eg:

Code:

---

class relationshipType {
  String relationshipName;
  entity left;
  entity right;
}

class entity {
  String entityName;
}

---

But I'm not sure whether this will lead to a successful data structure.

Please I need your help on this.

Whether it does or doesn't, you need to learn to follow Java coding conventions. Class names start with an uppercase letter.

Wrong answer.
Thats not the answer for the question asked.
Thank you anyway.

Nope.
It's a post pointing out that your above code is incorrect as far as naming standards go.
Standards are important as they reduce confusion when reading code (eg, is that a class name or variable name?).
But nice to see you're open to constructive criticism.
You'll go far.

Nope.
constructive criticism is not expected here. Only the answer is expected.
constructive criticism dosen't do anything. This is a good example as there is still no proper answer for the question I asked here.

your constructive criticism in online forums are basically more like "hey I don't know anything about the question you asked but I know how to write names of classes properly...." type answer which can be posted in any thread in this forum. Which doesn't help anyone.

So. in this thread I expected the answer. If you want to talk about class names and constructive criticism, I'll open a another thread for that.

Good bye...

@dacoolest: your attitude isn't so cool and I'm afraid that not many people are willing to answer your question. Tolls' tip does have value although it is not a boilerplate answer to your question.
