IS_PARENT_OF Party-to-Party
Description
Identifies the ownership hierarchy of a set of organizations. This can be used to express buyer or Participant company organizational structures: for example, a buyer may have a parent company, and that parent company may have a parent company, and so on.
The IS_PARAENT_OF relationship can also be used within the context of an :EventSeries to designate a hierarchical relationship between an event brand and multiple related regional event series. See here for more information

CREATE
For use with Event Series
In the context of an :EventSeries, the IS_PARENT_OF relationship can be used to set up a high level series brand (such as the "Lollapalooza" brand) and related independent event series (such as "Lollapalooza Chicago", "Lollapalooza Brazil", etc).
An :EventSeries can only be a child of one :EventSeries. Attempts to set an :EventSeries to more than one parent :EventSeries will be REJECTED.
Once an :EventSeries is a child, it cannot be a parent of another :EventSeries. Attempts to make a child :EventSeries a parent of another :EventSeries will be REJECTED.
The parent :EventSeries is a general brand, not an actual event series in and of itself. Because of this, the parent :EventSeries cannot have any :EventInstances attached to it. Attempts to set an :EventSeries with an active HAS_EVENT_INSTANCE relationship as a parent :EventSeries will be REJECTED.
UPDATE
Updates to an :EventSeries parent relationship are not allowed. To update a parent relationship, deactivate the existing relationship and create a new IS_PARENT_OF relationship. There may be some instances where the information within a parent relationship will need to be updated, but that action should be left only to DMO personnel.
DELETE
Deleting an :EventSeries parent relationship is a deactivation. No physical deletes will happen.
