This is one of the unsolved things. The relationships between DataMaps are 
supported in runtime (all DataMaps are loaded in a single namespace, so 
entities can reference each other freely). 

During modeling I am not sure how we can do that. We just had this discussion 
in my company recently, but no solution yet. If there are ideas how that can be 
implemented, let's discuss.
