POSSIBLE: System/Audit Properties

Need to decide if we should include the full (or a partial) audit trail for edge/relationships. I'm leaning toward YES.

(these are not required/enforced by Neo4j but are populated via the UJAP Database web application; these could also be handled—perhaps more simply—by edge/relationship to AuditEvent nodes)
