 We provide `@Relationship` for mapping relationships without properties.
 This annotation shall be used for 1:1 and 1:n mappings.
 It provides an attribute to specifiy the name of the relationship.
-When a relationship is mapped on both sides (that is a circular mapping in the domain model from start to endnode and back) the annotation provides the `inverse` attribute to cater the following use case:

 @Node("User")
 static class UserNode {
 
-	@Relationship(type = "OWNS", inverse = "owner")
+	@Relationship(type = "OWNS")
 	List<BikeNode> bikes;

-Without the inverse that mapping would lead to three relationships:
-
-1. `(user) - [:OWNS] -> (bike)`
-2. `(user) <- [:OWNER] - (bike)`
-3. `(user) <- [:RENTER] - (bike)`
-
-Which is probably not the intended graph.
-Specifying `inverse` removes ambiguity here.

 === "Rich" relationships
 
 There should be no means of using a relationship as aggregate root in SDN/RX (like it is today the case with `@RelationshipEntity`).
