/**

 * Concrete implementations of this abstract base class express a directed relationship between two

 * cdm entities ( {@link IRelated} ). The most important properties of the relationship are:

 * <ul>

 * <li>{@link #getRelatedFrom(IRelated)}</li>

 * <li>{@link #getRelatedTo(IRelated)}</li>

 * <li>The {@code <TYPE>}, a RelationshipTermBase which specifies the kind of the relationship</li>

 * </ul>

 * A relationship thus is forming a directed graph consisting of two nodes and an edge:

 * <pre>

     relatedFrom -----[TYPE]----> relatedTo

   </pre>

 * Whereas the direction of the relation can be valid for the direct (everted) and also for the inverted {@link Direction} direction.

 * This directional validity is defined by {@link RelationshipTermBase#isSymmetric()}
