Homogenous Relationships

When the relationship between any records in a hierarchy is of the same type, the relationship is said to be a Homogenous relationship.

For example, consider a simple relationship (within a repository) that uses ASSOCIATE as the relationship between CUSTOMER 1, CUSTOMER 2 and CUSTOMER 3. Since the three records in the hierarchy are related to each other using the same type (ASSOCIATE), the relationship is a homogenous relationship.
