Entity Study Reference

DescriptionThere are two ways to represent the relationship between a study protocol and a document that is cited by the study protocol. These are:

1) use the Study Protocol to Study Reference association.
2) use the Study Protocol Study Protocol Document associations.

The first is more direct and uses domain terminology, while the second is more consistent with other document-to-document associations.
