They connect your objects into the knowledge graph. But, you can use them for broad purposes. For example: * You can also use relation to set some «primitive» value like: a date, a tag, a status, an email, or a phone number. Later we will update the system where even such values might be presented as Objects. * Relations can be shown as columns in a “database” / “table” view by using [set.md](../fundamentals/set.md "mention"). So you can use them as properties in Notion for such case. * Relations are global. You can change the name and you will update it everywhere. * You can add any relation to any object using Blocks, Set or Object’s relation view.
