As a PhD student I made a small attempt at unifying the relational model,
the ER model and the complex-object model. It kinda worked, but I never
was really completely satisifed with the end result. It did reveal to
some extent where there is some fundamental friction between these
different data models. If you're interested check out my PhD thesis or my
paper at ICDT 2003.
