BUILDING BLOCK - Second Order Class

Description	Abstract Concept Second Order Class is defined as the Meta-Class of all subclasses of First Order Class. Each instance of Second Order Class is a class, each of whose instances is a First Order Class. First Order Class is an instance of Second Order Class since, by definition, all of its instances are First Order Classes. Examples: 1) Car-Brand (with instances such as VolkswagenCar and HondaCar), 2) AnimalSpecies (with instancessuch as GreyWolf and Dodo), Occupation, and USArmyRank.

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..*].
