Peer Of (basic relationship) Title of this Item
peer_of Name of this Item
A relationship of this type between two items indicates a relationship between equals. This would be appropriate, for example, as a description of the "synonym" relationship that might occur between the entries for two words in a thesaurus. The system makes two assumptions about individuals that have a Peer-Of relationship to each other. First, the relationship is assumed to be bidirectional. Saying that "A is a Peer-Of B" implies that "B is a Peer-Of A", and it doesn't matter which of the two "directions" is used when the relationship is first created. Second, when showing the graph of relationships between individuals, the system will attempt to indicate Peer-Of relationships as primarily horizontal. Description of this Item
