public class RelationshipType
extends BaseChangeableOpenmrsMetadata

Defines a type of relationship between two people in the database.

A relationship is two-way. There is a name for the relationship in both directions.

For example:
a) physician Joe
b) patient Bob
Joe is the "physician of" Bob and Bob is the patient of Joe. Once you can establish one of the two relationships, you automatically know the other.

ALL relationships are two-way and can be defined as such.

RelationshipTypes should be defined as gender non-specific For example: A mother and her son. Instead of having a RelationshipType defined as mother-son, it should be defined as Parent-child. (This avoids the duplicative types that would come out like father-son, father-daughter, mother-daughter)

In English, we run into a tricky RelationshipType with aunts and uncles. We have chosen to define them as aunt/uncle-niece/nephew.
