==== Associations (QualiWare vs ArchiMate) ====

One can make both QualiWare associations (Breaks down to, RelationContext, Documents, Tags....) and/or ArchiMate relationships (lines of particular types).
 +
* For diagrams, always show the appropriate ArchiMate relationships.

* Between diagrams, it's wise and helpful to do a Breaks down to association between objects/elements in your diagram to relevant sub-diagrams (details).

* One may wish to make "hard" QualiWare associations between major functions/processes as "breaks down to" relationships as well.  Investigation required as to if this is necessary for the types of reporting we want to do.
