Comment on the Relation Field:
The Identifier field is used to uniquely identify the object. Examples
for networked resources include URLs, URNs (when implemented). For
non-networked objects, one might have an ISBN, Library of Congress
Catalog Number, or other formal name.
The Relation field can identify Warwick Framework Objects that
include Terms and Conditions, other MetaData, payment mechanisms,
and not yet thought of computational objects.
