/**
 * A single_valued_association_field is designated by the name of an association-field
 * in a one-to-one or many-to-one relationship. The type of a single_valued_association_field
 * and thus a single_valued_association_path_expression is the abstract schema type of
 * the related entity. A collection_valued_association_field is designated by the name
 * of an association-field in a one-to-many or a many-to-many relationship. The type of a
 * collection_valued_association_field is a collection of values of the abstract schema
 * type of the related entity. An embedded_class_state_field is designated by the name
 * of an entity-state field that corresponds to an embedded class. Navigation to a related entity
 * results in a value of the related entity's abstract schema type.
