Relationship

• The

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t relationship

  is not valid. An

  Gloss
  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
  PreSpace false t active

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t relationships

  .

• An

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t inactive

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t relationship

  may refer to either

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t inactive

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t components

• Specref
  RefType (field) t referencedComponentId

  .

• The

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t component

  referred to by the

• Specref
  RefType (field)

• t referencedComponentId

  may be

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t active

  or

  Gloss
  PreSpace false t inactive

  . 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

• (field) t referencedComponentId
