  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Some of the IDML book relationships needs to be updated to   *
  * better represent the elements relationships. A card had a    *
  * physicallyContains relationship with a chassis that was      *
  * replaced with a pluggedInto a Slot.                          *
