The relation title is usually only used if there if more than one
relationship to a particular entity, for example an entity might have two
relationships with the Party entity like FromParty and ToParty with From/To
being the title and Party being the rel-entity-name.
In a lot of cases there is no title so you just use the entity name, such as
in your case below.
