I'm good with relatedEntities - relationshipAttributes is definately confusing - relationships isn't clear to me
other options could include - relatedEntityAttributes - but is a little longwinded - injectedAttributes - another option but perhaps unclear for some ---- Nigel Jones, Analytics CTO Office - jon...@uk.ibm.com From: Graham Wallis <graham_wal...@uk.ibm.com> To: dev@atlas.apache.org Cc: Madhan Neethiraj <mneethi...@hortonworks.com>, Sarath Subramanian <sar...@apache.org> Date: 24/07/2017 09:58 Subject: Re: Relationship attributes Personally I think 'relatedEntities' is clearer.

However, given that relationships can themselves might have attributes, it can be confusing. I was going to suggest ‘relatedEntities’; but ‘relationships’ seems to be good choice. +1 for naming the field as ‘relationships’.
