Managing Relationship Definition

Relationship definitions defines links between the available profiles.

Once profiles are created, you can define existing relationships between them by creation Relationship Definition.

A relationship definition can be created by defining the from and to attributes. Relationship profiles can also contain properties.

{
    "from": {
        "profileKey": "<from-profile-key>",
        "includeKey": "<from-relationship-key>",
        "cardinality": "<cardinality>"
    },
    "to": {
        "profileKey": "<to-profile-key>",
        "includeKey": "<to-relationship-key>",
        "cardinality": "<cardinality>"
    },
    // Optional
    "properties": {
        "<propertyKey>": {
            "type": "<type>"
        }
    }
}

Create a relationship

Once base profiles are created, and you want to link them together (ex: Linking a provider and it's office), you must create a relationship definition.

{
    "from": {
        "profileKey": "provider",
        "includeKey": "worksAt", // Name for the property "practitioner -> worksAt -> office"
        "includeCardinality": "0:*"
    },
    "to": {
        "profileKey": "office",
        "includeKey": "staff", // Name for the property "office -> staff -> practitioner"
        "includeCardinality": "0:*"
    }
}
