Mike Gotta:

"Relational data consist of data that a result of a connection. Relational data is a jointly owned property among the actors as a result of their association. Some examples of relational data include: kinship, friendship, boss/subordinate, project team membership, group association, etc.

Note: A relation is depicted as a line on a sociogram (or social graph). A relation is not a node." (http://mikeg.typepad.com/perceptions/2008/04/social-networks.html)
