Perhaps we don't need to see the "whole picture" (which would end up 
being a map the size of the terrain we're trying to map in the first 
place) - but only the aspects of the picture that serve our purposes.  
Keeping the intended application in mind makes the task much less 
overwhelming, and helps us filter the types of relationships we'd like to 
represent...

But you do ask important questions, Sean.  I believe we made a list of 
relationships a while back, but I can't seem to find it in the archives - 
does anyone (Heide?) know where it is?
