Can you clarify the bidirectional relationships for relationship?

Question

 

Labels for bidirectional relationships need to be corrected when adding relationships. The relationship “INDIGO Entity”->” INDIGO Application” is named “has application context”

 

When trying to add a relationship on the INDIGO Entity, the opposite label is shown in the drop-down.

 

Answer

The current behavior is considered correct.  The source of the confusion lies in the user interface's presentation of the arrows and the accompanying labels beneath them.

 

When observed by a typical user, there may be an inclination to attribute the label to the direction of the relation. Contrary to this perception, the label constitutes an attribute of the Entity and can be envisioned as follows:

 

It is advisable to conceptualize the labels as nouns rather than verbs. When the outbound relation is selected in the data modeler, it signifies a desire to display all end objects associated with the current start object. The user interface (UI) utilizes the label of the end objects as "is application context for."
