In [1] the category of relations in an abelian category was studied. A relation from A to B appeared as an equivalence class of pairs of -morphisms (ϕ, ψ),

Moreover, this equivalence class may be written as the composite , where is canonically embedded in and is the image of Γ in the canonical involution on . Every equivalence class has an essentially unique minimal representative (ϕ0,ψ0), characterized by the property that

where

and if and only if the square

is exact.
