1. The general approach is to create entity relations in the taxonomy.
2. The main reason to use normal (global) relations and connecting them to parameters in an entity is when you know that the relation will be used at more than one spot in the taxonomy. In that case you rather create one relation and connect it to the parameters in the relevant entities.
3. Also , use normal relations if you want to use the modeling/reasoning functionality of Quaestor. You might want to use the modeler when you want to execute complex models which make use of reasoning an advantage over a normal traditional fully hardcoded model (which a taxonomy is to some extent). This is the case when you want the structure (network of relations) of a model to be dependent on the choices made and input provided by the user. You then have a hybrid knowledge base (mix of taxonomy and classical).
