Objects which have the AASReferenceType shall reference another type. According to Table 43 these are the following references:

the “First” node shall reference the Referable Type instance having the role of the subject

the “Second” node shall reference the Referable Type instance having the role of the object

The components of the AASRelationshipType have additional references defined in Table 44.
