It'd be great if we could have a guild object. Then other  
plants/relationships could have a "isMemberOf" relationship to the  
guild object. You'd get the full guild network pulled out of the DB by  
querying for isMemberOf = guildUID. Many-to-One. Something were the sub  
network of the guild contributes the information of the whole, but can  
be looked at individually. You could also find all the guilds who have  
a specific relationship or plant in them.
