You will only find "unowned relationships" terminology in Google docs.
This "unowned relationships" in the GAE/J docs is where you have a
field that is a "Key" or a Collection/Map/array of keys. So no *real*
relation, just some implicit relation by that "key". You have to
manage these keys yourself, and you tie your code to GAE/J by using
them.

JDO/JPA specs do not mention such a thing; they only refer to
relationships ... "owned" relationships ... real relationships. This
is where a persistable class has a field that is of a persistable
type, or a Collection/Map/array of a persistable type. i.e 0-N related
objects. JDO provides managed relationships to keep both sides of a
bidirectional relation consistent (under some circumstances).
