Table 1 shows that datasets/studies are both containers and locationable. None of the currently supported objects can have files and children entities. Projects and Folders can have children but cannot have files. Files can have files but cannot have any children.
Links In Everything
Links are a special case that can be contained in many types (see Table 1 'valid parents'). Since a Link can have study, data, step, or analysis as a parent, any of these object that have a link child cannot simple by changed to a File (file cannot have children). This is going to force us to make difficult decision about how to convert old types that have links as children.
Convert Entity Services
In order to fully depreciated the unsupported types, we need to convert each old type into one of the supported types. The plan is to add a new services that will convert an old entity to a new type. Many conversions will be simple. For example, it will be simple to convert a a data object with a single file. Conversion will not be simple for all cases where there is not a one-to-one relationship between the old and new.
