INVERSE attributes

Every attribute which as an entity as its data type, establishes an entity relationship.

In both directions!!!
By default the inverse cardinality is [0:?]

Inverse attributes are declared following the INVERSE keyword.

The INVERSE clause constrains the relationship in the inverse direction

An inverse attribute captures the relationship between the entity being referred to, and the named attribute of the referencing entity.
