Overview of packaged relation types

A relation is a characteristic that describes how two assets relate to each other. The relation's type defines the relation and determines which assets can be related.

  • role is the description of the relation type going from the head asset type to the tail asset type.
  • co-role is the description of the relation type going from the tail asset type to the head asset type.

This is a sortable table of all packaged relation types.
