entryrelated

Entryrelated is a term used in information systems to describe the relationship between a primary entry and other related entries within a data set, content management system, or API. It is not a universally standardized term, but rather a descriptive label that can appear in data models, codebases, and documentation to denote a linkage or association between entries.

In data modeling, entryrelated often refers to a defined relationship type that connects one entry to one or more related entries. Implementations commonly use a join or linking construct, such as a separate relation table or a foreign key structure, with fields like entry_id, related_entry_id, and an optional relation_type to capture the nature of the connection (for example, related_article, predecessor, sequel, or alternative). This approach enables queries that retrieve related content and supports navigation, recommendations, or semantic linking.

In API design and data exchange, entryrelated may appear as a property that carries references to related entries. For example, an API response might include an entryrelated array containing identifiers and metadata for related items. Naming conventions vary, with camelCase (entryRelated or entryrelated) and snake_case (entry_related) both seen in practice; consistency within a project is usually prioritized.

In search, indexing, and recommendations, entryrelated helps drive content discovery by exposing or computing connections between entries. Graph-based representations can formalize these relationships to support traversal and ranking.

Caveats include avoiding ambiguity in what constitutes “related,” maintaining performance for large relationship graphs, and documenting semantics clearly to ensure consistent interpretation across systems. See also related entries, entity relationships, and content recommendations.
