Pseudonym > Agent

[RendersKoen]

Hi everyone, is there a property that connects a Pseudonym to an Agent like a person?

Like the pseudonym Elvis Costello pointing to Declan McManus? Or is this not the intented use of Pseudonyms?

The Person and Psaudonymclass have just the label to represent the propper name fields.

Hi Tormod, thank you!

So if i understand it right, the relation between a person's real name and its pseudonym is only established through concrete involvements in editorial objects?

That would imply that a persons real name should be added to every involvement, right?

I found hasRelatedAgent in the dev version of EbuCorePlus. As it is defined, it should be possible to use this relationship to directly connect a pseudonym to an agent as Pseudonym hasRelatedAgent only Agent is defined as a subclass of Pseudonym.

However, the dcterms:description of hasRelatedAgent states

To associate a concept with an Agent (e.g. Person or Character).

which suggests that it is intended for skos:concepts, not for an Agent.

Am I wrong?

Also, the inverse property isRelatedAgent feels counterintuitive to me, since I would suppose that it is reciprocal? If one thing is related to another, the inverse is also true, right?
