Heh, I'm a mathematician by training :)
Edge / vertex are used in the sense of graph theory. So its a network where
each edge has a certain capacity and a certain length. Like, for example, a
network of water pipes. Of course, it doesn't do any useful computations its
meant to be merely illustrative.
I know its not a very good example. But I was tryng to steer clear of the
very "typical" kinds of examples used for business computing.....

> Could someone explain the objects and tables. I really don not understand
the problem domain. How is vertex used here - math (The point at which the
sides of an angle intersect), Astronomy (The highest point reached in the
apparent motion of a celestial body), or Anatomy (The highest point of the
skull)? None of these jive with "sink" or "source." Also, why does the edge
table below need foreign keys to vertex?
