Hi Guys

Not sure whether this is the place to address this... but I would really like to

*         interrogate the Naked Objects spec to see if it can handle 
relationships gracefully and

*         interrogate the resultant RestFul Objects spec for the same reason.

At the moment both of these specs treat relationships in a shallow way as 
un-typed compositions and aggregations.
I would like to bring first class relationships in at the spec level rather as 
an Isis add-on or branch.

My analysis points to a need for an entirely different approach to composition 
and aggregations that manages and leverages these richer relationships to 
sub-objects and aggregated objects.

Both Naked and Restful Objects need to somehow start listing the relationships 
available on an object and avoid un-typed relationships. I suspect that this 
might lead to even stronger domains more capable of representing complex 
business needs.

I understand that this poses a political problem in the sense that graph 
databases are still young and most projects feel safe with RDBMS, but I'm 
convinced this will change.

Perhaps we could branch at the specification level? I am willing to work on 
both the spec and the implementation.

Thnx
Sizwe
