Definition of "Relationships"

I had an action item with Katie to come up with a definition of
Relationship.

 

This is the proposal:

 

Definition of *Relationships*:

 

"Semantic associations between distinct chunks of content."

      Example 1: A heading is in relationship to the paragraph which follows
it.
      Example 2:  A section title is in relationship to the subsections that
are within it.

 

 

-----------------------

Discussion:

 

"Semantic" is another way to say "meaningful" (as per the Wikipaedia
definition of Semantic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic 

 

So the definition could also be:

 

"Meaningful associations between distinct chunks of content."  But I think
semantic works better.

 

"chunks" could be replaced by "portions" or "sections" but I think "chunks"
is very understandable.
