[Developers] [Fwd: mediated properties]

[Steve Sak]

To restate the question: given a mediator object how do I determine
which property is the one it's mediating?  For example, type A has a
mediator M that has a bunch of properties mediates between A and another
object.  How do I determine which property of M is the one that points
to the other object being mediated?

How do you get the the expected value for a types' mediated properties? 
For instance, the sibling_s or spouse_s properties of  /people/person:  
"*":null gives back an array of nulls where each "null" represents some
underlying value.  "*":{} will show id, type, and name where the id
refers to the mediator object (e.g. /person/marriage) but then how does
one determine within that object which is the master property (e.g., the
reference to the /people/person object representing the sibling or spouse?
