    Description

      Change to the party data model to support relationships where parties act in several capacities (roles) and allowing polynary relationships.

      If someone could describe a situation where the direcition of the role matters (partyIdTo/partyIdFrom) and where the roleType is insuficient to understand the direction I will try to come up with a solution. I'm trying to understand if simply better role designations would alleviate ambiguity or if there is a real need to support direction.

      I began a discussion on this topic, there has yet to be any response
