 * defines the important keys for an entity + property mapping table

 * background:
 * - mapping tables are how arrays of data are persisted in relational databases
 * - arrays should only ever be of _relationships_ between entities (i.e., not an array of "favorite_fruit_names", but an array of references to "fruits")
 * - references can be made explicitly (within the database by fk) or implicitly (between distributed databases by uuid)
