relationships
Connections that describe how an object is associated with other objects or defined entities.
Relationships describe an object by indicating what connections exist between it and any number of other objects or defined entities.
A relationship concerns at least two distinct referents. It describes their connection, such as an organizational role, rather than an intrinsic dimension of just one object.
The role of a company concerns what it does in relation to an object. The object's own name or measurement answers a different question from that connection.
