+
+Specifies the other identifier or common name (e.g., `CVE-2021-44228` or
+`Log4Shell` respectively).

+### relationships[].canonical_url field
+

+
+### relationships[].type field
+
+Specifies the type of relationship this OSV has to the other identifier. Must
+include one of the following types:
+
+- `ALIAS`: An alias, or, identifier that is referring to the exact same
+  vulnerability. This is for connecting identifiers from different databases,
+  and not for marking duplicate IDs within the same database, which should use
+  `DUPLICATED_BY` or `DUPLICATE_OF` respectively.
+- `CAUSES`: Causes a related vulnerability, for example Log4Shell causing
+  binaries that embed the vulnerable version of Log4j to be vulnerable to RCE.
+- `CAUSED_BY`: Caused by a related vulnerability, most often an embedded
+  dependency.
+- `COMMON_NAME`: A name used to colloquially refer to a specific, usually high
+  impact, vulnerability. For example, "Log4Shell" would be a common name for
+  CVE-2021-44228.
+- `DUPLICATED_BY`: Other identifiers within the same database that are marked as
+  a duplicate of this ID.
+- `DUPLICATE_OF`: Points to the canonical identifier for a vulnerability within
+  a given database.
+- `INCOMPLETE_FIX_FOR`: When the remediation for a vulnerability is incomplete,
+  and causes a related vulnerability. For example, Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228)
+  would be an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-45046.
+- `INSUFFICIENT_FIX_OF`: Fixes a vulnerability caused by a previous remediation
+  being incomplete. For example, CVE-2021-45046 would be an insufficient fix of
+  Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228).
+- `RELATED`: An identifier that is related in an unspecified way.
