SIDA and Sibling activities #59

Open KitWallace opened 11 years ago

The logically redundant Sibling activity element (related-activity type="3") may be useful in some circumstances but in a database context, the need is much less , since navigation to a sibling via a parent and child relationships would probably be sufficient. IF not the relationship can be computed on the fly.

Activities are frequently bloated with these elements. eg. SIDA such as

http://data.aidinfolabs.org/admin/corpus/main/Publisher/sida/set/sida-189/activity/SE-6-5204017401-189ANO-72010

Ignoring all sibling elements on load would be one solution - better to drop this redundant element entirely.
