    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;I'm trying to understand bopf but i'm still unsure in how to structure my business objects.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Lets say before the use of bopf i've had these tables:&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- Employees (employeeid)&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- Projects (projectid)&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- Work Assignments ( containing employeeid and the projectid as foreign keys)&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Now i want to work with bopf, so i would create the business objects&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- Employee&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- Projects&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;But since Work Assignments are connected to these two business objects and cant exist without them, i would think i would have to add Work Assignments as a Subnode to Project and Employee. But if a work assignment cant exist by only having one existing parent (only employee or only project), that does not seem like the way to go... Or do i have to create another 'standalone' Business Object for Work Assignments?&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Thank you!&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
