Description
All the form fields at the moment assume that they are given a subject X and a predicate P and the form will write a quad (X, P Y, G).
In fact, when not dealing with literals for Y, RDF is symmetrical: it is just as reasonable for them to correspond to the data (Y, P, X, G). So we need to be able to specify in a form, that a given field is in the inverse direction.
Examples:
-
When a user is a member of a group, the triple (
user, member,group) could turn up in a form about the user - or a form about the group. -
In a family tree user interface form, the same form could allow adding a number of (
this, child, Y) triples to list one's children, and also a set of (Y, child,this) triples for giving ones parents.

Research direction
Start by tracing the TypeScript form-field implementation that currently writes subject–predicate–object quads, and inspect how fields are configured and tested. Define how a field selects the inverse direction, then verify that both forward and reverse relationships can be displayed and written for the membership and family-tree examples.
