        Sorry to tell you that, but I find it not different at all.

        To me it seems you are trying to solve database issues by a modelling methodology, kinda like was done by elder people with universal relation, binary relations, multivalues, OO, XML, whatever.

        What would be very nice was if you applied your methodology to the relational model and normalised databases, instead of starting with SQL.   It might get you interesting results.
