  of an

• Gloss

Relationship

• The

  PreSpace false t inactive

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t relationship

  should be ignored as it does not apply.

• This does not necessarily mean that the association indicated by the

• Gloss
  PreSpace false t relationship

  does not apply. The

• Gloss
  PreSpace false t relationship

  may be

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t inactive

  because it is redundant and inferable based on other

• Gloss

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t relationships

  .

• Gloss
  PreSpace false t inactive

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t relationship

  referred to by the

  Specref

  may be

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t active

  or

  . An

• Gloss
  PreSpace false t active

  refset member cannot make an

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t inactive

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t component

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t active

  but may provide related information that continues to be relevant (e.g. the reason for inactivation).

• The

• refset member is not valid. An

• Gloss
  PreSpace false t inactive

  refset member should be ignored. The information it contains is not applicable to the
