Suma Shivaprasad commented on ATLAS-1690:
-----------------------------------------
In response to [~davidrad] 's comment ,
4. Yes this is the same as Suma's suggestion of a category; I was thinking of
"bidirectional”, “aggregation” - as association could be directional and
contains could be composition . I will put this in, as we can then put this
value into the edge - so we can identify which edges we need to expand into
attributes. Are you OK with these amendments?
--> I think we should have four categories initially - composition,
aggregation, bidirectional, directional. Its important to distinguish between
aggregation and composition I think, since tag propagation and entity mutation
cascade policies like delete etc can be controlled based on this. Also
capturing bidirectional vs directional would help us in migrating the current
technical model where a unidirectional relation could just have ownedRef on one
side and there s no reverseAttribute on the referred end and the default could
be bidirectional associations.
