Story | The researchers repository at the Smithsonian is designed to be a continuous graph, building out from a root node that describes the repository as a whole. Every object that is added to the repository should have at least one relationship path that leads back to that root node. As we give accounts to researchers, their root node in their account is a Many more graphs of relationships can be overlaid, but the one described above is the basis. |

This is describing a specific type of a graph, namely a tree, rather than the more general case that sometimes gets thrown around when we talk about Fedora as a graph.

Actually, it would be more accurate to say that a specific tree will be created and maintain within the graph. It is completely possible for the graph to grow in non-tree ways, but that specific tree is a useful construct that we will maintain within the graph.

This is ready for acceptance testing as of 4.0-Alpha-4.
