[SEEK-Taxon] relationship types

[Paterson, Trevor]

we have done a bit more work on classifying the relationships
 
I would guess that it is probably only the set based (Berlin - based) relationships and the parent-child (hierarchy) relationships that it makes sense to consider in processing terms. Maybe you could chain name-based relationships together transitively - but the implications and interpretations are complex (and might leasily lead to some infinite loops... A is a synonym of B is a synonym of C is a synonym of D is a synonym of A..........).
