All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<OpenMetadataRelationshipEndCardinality>, Constable

public enum OpenMetadataRelationshipEndCardinality
extends Enum<OpenMetadataRelationshipEndCardinality>

RelationshipCardinality is used in a OpenMetadataRelationshipEndDef to indicate how many relationships of this type can be connected to an entity instance.:

• UNKNOWN: uninitialized cardinality.
• AT_MOST_ONE: means there can be zero or one instances of this relationship connected to an instance of the OpenMetadataEntityDef. This relationship is written as 0..1 in UML.
• ANY_NUMBER: means there can be none, one or many instances of this relationship connected to an instance of the OpenMetadataEntityDef. This relationship is often written as 0..* or * in UML.
