 <div class="block">Indicates the role played by the association between two features.
  In the area of geographic information, there exist multiple kinds of associations:

  <ul>
    <li><b>Aggregation</b> represents associations between features which can exist even if the aggregate is destroyed.</li>
    <li><b>Composition</b> represents relationships where the owned features are destroyed together with the composite.</li>
    <li><b>Spatial</b> association represents spatial or topological relationships that may exist between features (e.g. “<cite>east of</cite>”).</li>
    <li><b>Temporal</b> association may represent for example a sequence of changes over time involving the replacement of some
        feature instances by other feature instances.</li>

 <div class="block">Constructs an association to a feature type of the given name.
  This constructor can be used when creating a cyclic graph of <a href="DefaultFeatureType.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.feature"><code>DefaultFeatureType</code></a> instances.
  In such cases, at least one association needs to be created while its <code>FeatureType</code> is not yet available.

  <div class="note"><b>Example:</b>
  The following establishes a bidirectional association between feature types <var>A</var> and <var>B</var>:

  <blockquote><pre>String    namespace = <font color="orangered">"My model"</font>;
 GenericName nameOfA = Names.<b>createTypeName</b>(namespace, <font color="orangered">":"</font>, <font color="orangered">"Feature type A"</font>);
 GenericName nameOfB = Names.<b>createTypeName</b>(namespace, <font color="orangered">":"</font>, <font color="orangered">"Feature type B"</font>);
 FeatureType typeA = <font color="green">new</font> <b>DefaultFeatureType</b>(nameOfA, <font color="green">false</font>, <font color="green">null</font>,
     <font color="green">new</font> <b>DefaultAssociationRole</b>(Names.<b>createLocalName</b>(<font color="orangered">"Association to B"</font>), nameOfB),
     <i><font color="gray">// More properties if desired.</font></i>
 );
 FeatureType typeB = <font color="green">new</font> <b>DefaultFeatureType</b>(nameOfB, <font color="green">false</font>, <font color="green">null</font>,
     <font color="green">new</font> <b>DefaultAssociationRole</b>(Names.<b>createLocalName</b>(<font color="orangered">"Association to A"</font>), featureA),
     <i><font color="gray">// More properties if desired.</font></i>
 );</pre></blockquote>

  After the above code completed, the <a href="#getValueType()">value type</a> of <cite>"association to B"</cite>
  has been automatically set to the <code>typeB</code> instance.
  </div>

  Callers shall make sure that the feature types graph will not contain more than one feature of the given name.
  If more than one <code>FeatureType</code> instance of the given name is found at resolution time, the selected one
  is undetermined.</div>
