My point is about "what to do" being another way of saying: how do I 
entail based on reasoning. Basically, how do I obtain actionable meaning 
from content. It always boils down to the semantics of the entity 
relationships rescribed by the overall data model .

You can have a uni-directional claim on the surface that's basically a 
relationship with functional, inverse-functional, symmetrical, 
equivalence, or inverse semantics, for instance. My fundamental point is 
that these relationship semantics have been with us forever, so ignoring 
them is ultimately futile, since they aren't format / syntax specific.
