bf:relation and the future of bf:relatedTo

Open frosterus opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

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:

  1. Will the newly introduced method replace the old one? In other words, will the subproperties of bf:relatedTo be deprecated?
  2. What is the difference between bf:relatedTo and bf:associatedResource? The definition for the latter would be useful.
  3. 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.
