Remarks
The child elements of the Relationships element (ExperienceID and LanguageNeutralIdentifier) provide separate search keys that the operating system uses to query device metadata packages that are installed within the device metadata cache.
The Relationships element is optional.
Note
When the OEM submits a device metadata package to Windows Quality Online Services (Winqual) , it adds the Relationships element (together with the ExperienceID child element) if the PackageInfo XML document does not specify these elements.
