  • CMDI 1.2/Resource proxies/ResourceRelation

    v6 v7  
    147147  to discuss, if we want to allow this.
    148148  If we decide for this general relation mechanism, I agree with Florian to get rid of the [[CMDI 1.2/Resource proxies/IsPartOf|IsPartOfList]].
     149   [[twagoo|Twan]]: Thanks Oliver, I like your improved representation and constraint proposals. Especially if we want to broaden the use of 'resource relations', I think we must build in this kind of flexibility (including N:M relations, what would be the downside?). On that note, using this to represent IsPartOf relations we probably want to\\
     150   (1) Rename !ResourceRelationList to !RelationList and move it out of Resources\\
     151   (2) Provide ways of referring to the document itself AND other documents that are '''not resources''' in the document (i.e. a way to express "''this'' is part of collection Y"). For example:
     152   {{{#!xml
     153<RelationList>
     154  <ResourceRelation>
     155    <!-- omitted details -->
     156  </ResourceRelation>
     157  <MetadataRelation>
     158    <RelationType dcr:datcat="http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-1234">partOf</RelationType>
     159      <MetadataDocument role="part" dcr:datcat="http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-2345"/> <!-- No ref could denote 'this document' -->
     160      <MetadataDocument role="container" dcr:datcat="http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-3456" ref="../mycollection.cmdi"/>
     161  </MetadataRelation>
     162</RelationList>
     163   }}}
     164   which adds a lot of power to the (resource) relation list but of course also complexity and another level of indirection. Is that roughly what you had in mind, Florian and Oliver? If so, the question is: is is it worth the additional hassle or should the 'part of' realation for metadata documents keep a special status.
