Glossary: Aunt

trueNext2 picture

In Opal, the hierarchy among topics is described metaphorically in terms of generational relationships among females.

Thus, one topic (B) is the aunt of another topic (A) if B is a sister of A’s mother.

Sisters are ordered among themselves, so a topic may have a previous aunt (the sister of its mother that precedes its mother) and it may have a next aunt (the sister of its mother that follows its mother).
