Description

Allow not just aliasing (this ID is also known as...) and relates to (this ID is different from, but related to...), but also more nuanced relationships like parent/child and such.

@JLLeitschuh what would be most useful relationship types to include from a researcher's perspective?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing aliasing and relates-to relationship definitions in the OSV schema. Research which parent/child or other relationship types are useful to vulnerability researchers, then define the accepted types and their semantics; done means the schema supports the agreed relationships consistently.
