How should ambiguous relationships be expressed?

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Does the spec make any recommendations on how to express relationships such as sibling, cousin, or uncle when you don't know exactly through which family line the person is related?

The idea was to create a Relationship with a custom relationship type. If there's enough demand for these kinds of relationships, we might need to create another spec defining some of these relationship types. That hasn't happened yet because we haven't known enough about what types are needed.

I'll try to find a place in the docs to record this.

Tooting mine own & others horns, there was some good discussion about how specific Relationships should be here: #230 (comment)
