Issue 4358: Specification does not provide constraints on relationships between roles (osf-ftf)
Source: Adaptive (Mr. Pete Rivett, pete.rivett(at)adaptive.com)
Nature: Enhancement
Severity: Minor
Summary: :  Although the OrgEntities instantiated from an OrgEntityTemplate can be constrained to a fixed set of Roles, this does not seem to provide any constraint on relationships since there is no limitation on which Roles may be linked to which Roles. So using the example from the spec, an Employee template might include 'Manager' in the constrained set of Roles, but there is nothing to say what other Roles 'Manager' might be linked with. So one could find the 'Manager' role for a person linked with the 'Wife' role of another person. Which probably does not make sense as a relationship. Though there's nothing to say what the intended relationship is meant to be.
