Defines a precise single relationship between two assets of the same asset type.
An asset can have only one type of Semantic relation with another asset of the same type. If you create a relationship with this predicate type, then:
- For a one asset has a broader concept than the other relationship, Predicate must be Broader with Inverse as Narrower. For example: "Country" is broader than "Region", and "Region" is broader than "Town".
- If Represents an associative link, roughly equivalent to a Grammar predicate. Predicate must be Related with Inverse as Related.
- Subject must be one of Business, Technical, Model, or Policy.
- Object must be one of Business, Technical, Model, or Policy.
- The Subject asset type must be the same as the Object asset type.
- The Subject Cardinality may be One or Many and the Object Cardinality may be One or Many.
Example: Assume you have created a Business Asset type of "Transport", and assets called Vehicles, Boats, and Cars. If you create a Broader / Narrower relationship between Vehicles and Cars, to express the concept that a car is a type of vehicle, you then cannot also add a Related / Related relationship between the Vehicles and Cars assets. Similarly, if you create a Related / Related relationship between Boats and Cars, you cannot also create a Broader / Narrower relationship between those assets.
