Relationship and Usage

• Relationship type is required
• Usage type is optional
• Do we still need a file type
  • A usage is intrinsic to the relationship
  • A file type is intrinsic to the file - independent of how it is used - e.g. a binary may be optional, dynamic library, data file depending on how it is used
• Review usage types from Gary's email
  • Reference_Impl - instead of usage type Reference_Impl - use a more general example?
    • Could remove
    • Reference_Impl term has different symantics for different verticals
    • Agree to remove - can come back to this in 2.1
• Review Bill's email on relationship types
  • artifactOf - should be an extended version existing property and not a new relationshipType
  • PatchOf - need both directions - patches or patchApplied and patchOn or Of
• Review of consolidated spreadsheet
  • Gary to send out 1 line descriptions for each relationship/usage type in the use case analysis column
  • Next week, we can use the spreadsheet to come up with a consolidated list of usage and relationship types
