Relation

The top level relation class. It connects at least two Things. An instance of a Relation may have some datatype and object properties: a general description (datatype property) like any Thing; a certainty (for 'certain', 'quite probable', 'uncertain','unknown'); a date (use either the date datatype property or the Date class and isAssociatedWithDate object property); a state (relationState); a location (use the Place class and isAssociatedWithPlace object property); a source of information that can be used as an evidence for it (use either source datatype property or hasSource object property). This Relation is the most generic one; it is not oriented.

Use when direct, binary object properties are not enough, e.g. when you need to record a date, a location or any other descriptive element for a relation (till RDF-Star becomes a W3C recommendation and provides a lighter method for doing so); or when the relation invloves more than two entities (n-ary relation). It is recommended to use the subclasses of the Relation class.
