Interface IRelation

All Superinterfaces:

All Known Subinterfaces:

All Known Implementing Classes:

Relation, TimedRelation

public interface IRelation
extends Mappable

The IRelation interface represents relations, which are by default displayed as connection between entities.

Each relation has its own id which is viewable by the user, so it should allow the identify the relation. However, in some cases (e.g. connection reported by two different companies may differ in format), the id may be represented differently.

Each relation has a source and target entity, it also belong to data sets. By default it belongs only to one data set, but in some cases (consider to billings for two differen numbers which contain the same connection) it may belong to more than one.
