BUILDING BLOCK - Meta Family of Class

Description	Abstract Concept A Meta Family of Class is a Class of Classes of Element (its members are themselves Class of Elements), typically used to group or organize collections of Class of Elements that share some structural, relational, or definitional property. In contrast to families of sets, which are sets of sets, a family of classes operates at a higher ontological level-its elements may represent universes, types, or conceptual groupings rather than individual sets.
External references	ISO 15926 - EnumeratedSetOfClass, Wikipedia - Family of sets
Super Types	Meta-Class
Functional Domain	Directed E/R Graph The Directed E/R Graph domain defines the top level constructs of entity (Entity Element) and their relationships (Relationship Element).

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
Class of Relationship	[*..0]	Class of Entity Element	Class of Entity Element
Relationship Element	[*..0]	Entity Element	Entity Element	A Relationship Element is the reification of an Adjacency List as an Element that represents a relationship.It formalizes relationships betwen Entity Elements.
Referencing Relationship	[*..0]	Entity Element	Entity Element	A Referencing Relationship is a Relationship Element that points at its target Entity Element through Reference Adjacency.
Dependency Relationship	[1..1]	Entity Element	Entity Element	A Dependency Relationship is a Relationship Element that specifies the existential dependency of the sourceRelationship Element on its target Relationship Element.The cardinality to the target Entity Element is [1..1].
Non-Dependency Relationship	[*..0]	Entity Element	Entity Element	A Non-Dependency Relationship is a Relationship Element that specifies that the existence the source Entity Element doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity Element.The cardinality to the target Entity Element is [0..*].
