For a "Parent-Child" relationship: Type in the name in the Parent-Child Name field and the inverse name in the Child-Parent Name field. For example, these names can be "Contains" and "Is part of", or "Is newer than" and "Is older than".
-
For a "Sibling" relationship: Type in the name in the Name field. For example, this name can be "Connected".
