This limit object determines all the limits of subgraph densities. We also show that the graph parameters obtained as limits of subgraph densities can be characterized by ``reflection positivity'', semidefiniteness of an associated matrix. Conversely, every such function arises as a limit object. Along the lines we introduce a rather general model of random graphs, which seems to be interesting on its own right.27 pages; added extension of result (Sept 22, 2004)Combinatorics05CXXLimits of dense graph sequencestext
