Hello, Thanks for your suggestions. I have improved the naming and definition to this:
Object subclass: #SlotExampleMovie slots: { #name. #year. #director => ToOneRelationSlot inverse: #directedMovies inClass: #SlotExamplePerson. #actors => ToManyRelationSlot inverse: #actedInMovies inClass: #SlotExamplePerson } classVariables: { } category: 'SlotAssociations-Tests-Example' Because it is for now just an example I haven't renamed the Slot classes yet.
