* Contract for a container of {@link RelationalValueSource} references. Multiple types of things operate as sources
* of "relational value" information; some examples include:
* - id attribute(s) mappings
* - basic attribute mappings
* - composite attribute mappings
* - plural attribute mappings
* - etc
*
*
* Not only does it provide access to the relational value sources ({@link #getRelationalValueSources()}, it also defines
* contextual information for those sources in terms of default values.
*
* See {@link RelationalValueSource} for additional details.
