 Relationship Mapping Metadata
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-To relate the ``Category`` and ``Product`` entities, start by creating a
-``products`` property on the ``Category`` class:
+In this example, each category can be associated with *many* products, while
+each product can be associated with only *one* category. This relationship
+can be summarized as: *many* products to *one* category (or equivalently,
+*one* category to *many* products).
+
+From the perspective of the ``Product`` entity, this is a many-to-one relationship.
+From the perspective of the ``Category`` entity, this is a one-to-many relationship.
+This is important, because the relative nature of the relationship determines
+which mapping metadata to use. It also determines which class *must* hold
+a reference to the other class.
