ASSOCIATE OBJECT

An ASSOCIATE is used to represent a relationship of one person (parent) with another person (child). The relationship always define a relation in which the roles played by the interveners are:
- Parent: acts as a 'caregiver' (doctor, social volunteer...). So, the parent "cares for" the child
- Child: acts as a patient. So, the child is being "cared by" the parent
For example, if "Mary" is a woman that is caring for her uncle "John", then "Mary" is an associate of "John".
This "associate" relationship must be agreed by both parts. When a person wants to "care for" or be "cared by" another person, a request is sent from the first to the second so that the second person accepts (or rejects) the request.
Note: there could exist a kinship between the parent and the child (in the previous example John is grandfather of Mary) but this relationship is not stored as part of the ASSOCIATE object because it is considered personal data and it is stored separately.
