Parent Of

Parent Of (basic relationship) Title of this Item 

parent_of Name of this Item 

This is the fundamental type of hierarchical relationship. This relationship states that the subject (left-hand side) of the relationship ("A" in the relationship "A is the Parent-Of B", and like "vehicle" in "vehicle is Parent-Of spacecraft") is a super-set of the object of the relationship ("B" and "spacecraft"). When showing a graph of connections between items, the system will attempt to indicate 'Parent Of' relationships as primarily vertical, with the subject-item drawn nearer "the root" of the graph and the object-item toward "the leaves". 'Parent Of' is typically appropriate for relationships between two categories or between two individuals. To indicate that a category contains an individual, the more specific 'Contains' can be used. 'Parent Of' is the opposite of 'Child Of'. Creating a relationship that states one category is 'Parent Of' another is exactly the same as creating a 'Child Of' relationship with the subject and object reversed, and the system will list the relationship between then using both relationship names (which name is given priority depends on which item is more central to the display). Description of this Item
