hi guys!
What is the difference between inherits and contains in glossary ?

inherits models the `isA`  relationship while contains models the `hasA` relationship

e.g. Email `isA` Sensitive field... so Email will inherit the Sensitive term.. while Account `hasA` Balance ... so Account will contain the Balance term.

if you think in terms of OO .. isA is like inheritance (extend a BaseClass / implement an Interface)  while hasA is like composition (having a member variable of that type)

it would be nice to have a "similar to" relationship as well.
