Research Object Relation

This type is used on ResearchObject.relations for authored, source-local relations between concrete research objects in a document.

The source is the research object that owns the relation. The target is a string reference to another research object or external resource, such as #claim-1, evidence-1, a graph node id, or an absolute URI.

Targets are resolved during graph construction as follows: a leading # is optional and stripped, so #claim-1 and claim-1 are equivalent; the reference is resolved first against declared research object ids, then against existing graph node ids; otherwise, a value with a URI scheme (e.g. https://...) is resolved to an external resource node. Unresolvable targets do not produce graph edges.
