  //##Documentation
  //## @brief Data management class that handles 'was created by' relations
  //##
  //## The StandaloneDataStorage provides data storage and management functionality.
  //## It handles a 'was created by' relation by associating each data object with a
  //## set of source objects that were used to create the new object was created from.
  //## Thus, nodes are stored in a noncyclical directed graph data structure.
  //## It is derived from mitk::DataStorage and implements its interface,
  //## including AddNodeEvent and RemoveNodeEvent.

      //## passed in the first parameter. The second parameter is a set
      //## of source objects, that were used to create this object. The new object will have
      //## a 'was created from' relation to its source objects.
      //## the addition of a new object will fire the notification mechanism.
