Role Name Location Silverrun is a data modeling tool intended to be used with ER Methodology/Notation.
The following example assumes an entity A called "Car", and entity B called "Person" connected with an "AB" relationship called "Ownership"

Link Origin (ER Modeling Style)" (DEFAULT VALUE) means:
- The "AtoB" role name is located on the source (close to "A")
- The "AtoB" role name is supposed to be a "verb" qualifying the role from entity "A", causing the AtoB role name to be next the source A object.

Link Destination (UML Modeling Style):
- The "AtoB" role name is located on the destination (close to "B")
- The "AtoB" role name is supposed to be a "noun" qualifying the entity "B", causing the AtoB role name is next the destination B object.
