Abstract
This paper describes a novel approach for modeling qualitative dependencies. The presented low-effort modeling approach facilitates the management of functional and geometric parameters in a database application. Qualitative dependencies are modeled by defining active chains. A first application of the modeling approach is the modeling of vehicle architectures. Therefore, the significance and use of vehicle architectures is described in the following.
