Is there a document that describes all the data types in KBase and how they are related?

This seems like a necessary precursor to step 1.i in How_to_add_a_new_data_type.md

The document you are referring to does not yet exist, but work has begun on
gathering that information.

Just to be clear, it is unlikely that we will be adding many new types to
the system until we have reviewed our current system of types and navigated
a path forward that allows us to evolve those types as needed. How to add
a data type is a living document that we will update as the system improves
and this process becomes easier. Definitely when the type level analysis is
there in some form it will be linked to from this document and checked into
github. If we do need to add any new types to the system in the short
term, those will have to be done with heavy involvement of the data team
until we can improve the process.

#25.

Let's leave this issue open til that doc is created. A Closes #25 should be added to the relevant commit so this one gets closed automatically.

Does https://github.com/kbase/kb_sdk/blob/develop/doc/kb_sdk_data_types.md#single-end-library satisfy this request?

I would also appreciate finding a summary of some sort along these lines. 👍
