Abstract: The paper considers adjacency relation systems introduced by Wanne [10] (1998). The main problems studied are how to characterize the sets of relations, which uniquely define all other adjacency relations, and how one can determine whether a given set of relations satisfies this property. The paper contains the solutions of both questions. One of the goals in introducing the adjacency relation systems has been the development of a theory, which can be used to model databases.
