Explanation to the graph:
The objects stores have several roots (here /filesystem, /xform, /workflow)
All objects that is in ObjectStore implements the interface IItem.
There can be a to and from relation to an object (In EPiServer 4 and 5 now everything is structured as a three, but it can be structured as any graph at all).
