Excerpt from Virtual Information in Data-Base Systems

Data relationships in recent information structuring models, however, essentially group and categorize data in some static fashion in the data base. But relationships can also be defined in a procedural fashion. An example of such an item is age. 'for example, to maintain a completely accurate value of someone's age, it would have to be updated continuously. Therefore, rather than assigning a particular stored Value to the data item age, it might be preferable to define it procedurally as current date minus data of birth. This leads directly to the idea that a model of information should allow not only static, grouping relationships.
