bf:relation and the future of bf:relatedTo
The change to indirect relations between Works and Instances is a very welcome one (#116).
Some questions about what this means with regards to existing BIBFRAME structures:
- Will the newly introduced method replace the old one? In other words, will the subproperties of bf:relatedTo be deprecated?
- What is the difference between bf:relatedTo and bf:associatedResource? The definition for the latter would be useful.
- Should the Suggested value for bf:associatedResource include bf:Instance (and maybe bf:Item as well)? For example, bf:hasReproduction (rdam:P30039 in RDA) is between Instances.
