The Test Project - Relationships

Relationships between spheres are defined in the "forward" direction in terms of the sphere definition. They can be viewed in either direction using the from or to versions of the relation values.

The relationships used in the test project are now defined.

Logical Function has the following relationships:

This is an example of a recursive relationship. You may define one of these for each

In this example, you should note that the sequence of defining the

Organisation has no forward relationships.

Information has the following relationship:

This recursive relationship shows how the relation value, like sphere attributes, may also refer to one or more levels of the sphere. Generates and Generated By can refer to the input and output of data through a Function and can apply at any level while Sub Type Of refers only to the Data Entity level.
