Alexis,
With Parent-Child relationships, I try to make the terminology of the parts
parallel:
Set - Part of a Set
Framed Artwork - Frame
Ensemble - Part of an Ensemble
Displays like this in TMS:
Ensemble
Framed Artwork
Set
-------------
Frame
Part of an Ensemble
Part of a Set
In my experience, even when you have clearly defined relationships written
up, people don't always reference them, so making the relationship labels
mirror one another helps to clarify their relationships with one another.
