Association	Notes
From: DataAssuranceRecord. To: AbstractObject Generalization
From: DataAssuranceRecord.FailingRules 0..*To: FailingRule Association	If the data do not conform to the policy then there will a FailingRule for each occurrence of a rule which failed. If the data being examined conforms to the policy then there will be no occurrences of FailingRules.
From: DataAssuranceRecord.IndexRange 0..1To: IndexRange Association	In the case that the ReferencedData is indexed and the conformance with the DataAssurance policy applies to a range within that index space, this class represents that range. The elements are string types because the index could be of numerous data types, including integer, float and date.
From: DataAssuranceRecord.ReferencedData To: DataObjectReference Association	This holds a GUID which is a reference to the data object whose conformance with the policy is being assessed.
