 * <b>Purpose</b>: Two objects can be considered to be related by aggregation if there is a strict
 * 1:1 relationship between the objects. This means that if the source (parent)object exists, then
 * the target (child or owned) object must exist. This class implements the behavior common to the
 * aggregate object and structure mappings.
