ACA Object Relationships
Different object relationship links

Relationship graph
§Analyse and help manage all links
ACA objects can be related with each other in several ways. They can have direct links, i.e. have direct knowledge of one another. They can be related by anchors, in which the anchor object has direct targeted knowledge of both (or more) objects and optionally implements some behaviour in their relationship to each other. Finally, they can be completely unlinked, but still related in some way. This can be handled by the object relationship graph. It stores object-to-object relationships in a graph structure used to establish relationships between objects that do not have direct knowledge of each other.
