Relationships

What?

A relationship is a data structure describing the association between a
manageability endpoint and another entity. The data structure includes the
type of the association, a reference to the owning manageability endpoint,
and a reference to the target entity. Both references will be described
using the mechanism described in the section "Addressing". The "owner" of
the relationship indicates from which entity's point of view the
relationship is defined and is always a manageability endpoint. The target
entity may be another manageability endpoint, some other endpoint, or an
interface.

Why?

Relationships are used by a manageability consumer to help track down the
root cause of any failure, to understand how a set of resources are working
together to accomplish a task, and to discover other resources that may have
manageability endpoints.
