Then we might want to extend this to include relationships between different types of entities, and whether or not they are required, many-to-many, etc. (e.g. a person can have zero or more siblings but a sample must relate to exactly one patient.) > >> >> Can anyone think of a good name for the Java class representing this thing?

(either the same type of object that a "Person" could be, or a different type of object.)
