A string describing and identifying how the card is mounted on or plugged into the 'other' card. slot information could be included in this field and may be sufficient for certain management purposes. If so, this avoids creating instantiations of connector/slot objects just to model the relationship of cards to hosting boards or other adapters. On the other hand, if slot and connector information is available, this field could be used to provide more detailed mounting or slot insertion data.
