Thanks, Diane. I was looking over those links as well but getting 502 Bad Gateway errors. Maybe that's because of what you were saying about LC pulling them down.
I did re-read some examples from http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/marcrel-ex/ If I understand this correctly, and I use marc relators that sub-properties of existing dc fields, I could do something like: <dc xmlns:dcterms='http://purl.org/dc/terms/' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'> <dcterms:creator>Jane Creator</dcterms:creator> <marcrel:ILL>Joe Illustrator</marcrel:ILL> </dc> Illustrator is defined as a sub-property of creator. Although the above document doesn't strike me as legal. Don't I need to define the marc relation in a namespace somewhere? Or does the marcrel get nested in the dcterms:creator element? Thanks in advance for the help... best, ...adam -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries on behalf of Diane I.

If it's of any interest, the RDA roles are built using this earlier work as a template, e.g., with the roles as properties, not attributes (http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/4.html). In any case, I'm thinking that your solution will be problematic, at a number of levels. It won't be standard DC, for one thing.
