Child elements
The Project_Dependencies_Deliverable_DependentProjects association element contains two End elements that represent opposite ends of the association. The Role attribute is a lookup key that enables a navigational property to specify the direction in the association. The Multiplicity attribute refers to the entity type. Multiplicity indicates the number of entities that can be related at each end of the association: zero or one (0..1), or many (*). The Microsoft .NET implementation of OData uses 0..1 when the navigational property points to a single entity, rather than to an entity set.

Remarks
One end of the association is the Project entity, and the other end is the Deliverable entity. The Project entity type contains the Dependencies navigation property, where the FromRole defines Project_Dependencies as the start of the association to get the collection of dependencies for projects. Similarly, the Deliverable entity type contains the DependentProjects navigation property, where the FromRole defines Deliverable_DependentProjects as the start of the association to get the dependent projects that are associated with a collection of deliverables.
