Associative Relationship Requirements
Overview
The system should allow for the management of synonyms and related terms, including non-hierarchical "associative relationships" among authorities.
For example: Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat worked together. Charles Eames and Ray Eames were married.
