Relations link pages; as such, they have built in ordinal aspects. That is, there already exists a 1:1 relationship between pages. This is extremely useful when considering complex tags which may have multiple reference points. In these cases, it may be better to provide actual page references via relations and let the respective pages provide the subject matter details.

The cross-over point between attributes & relations is where topics/subjects warrant individual pages. For example, individuals may have multiple degrees. The question arises as to whether it is better to have ordinal attributes or relations. In this case, it is preferable to have ordinal attributes because a relation to page labeled "Bachelors Degree" provides limited utility.
    
Concepts such as [[Relation:Subject Interest|subject interest]]s can also be semantically tagged as ''[[Centiare:relations|relations]]'', since common Directory or Main pages can be interlinked to multiple users via [[Centiare:ASK|ASK]] queries (see [[Skiing]] for an example).
