Mike:
For sure dc:relation works, and has some subproperties that a bit more
specific, but it's still pretty much a blunt instrument. I know I sound
like a broken record, but RDA has a LOT of relationships to choose
from--these are the WEMI-to-WEMI relationships:

There are also: RDA Relationships for Persons, Corporate Bodies,
Families: http://metadataregistry.org/schemaprop/list/schema_id/22.html
and RDA Relationships for Concepts, Events, Objects, Places:
http://metadataregistry.org/schemaprop/list/schema_id/23.html

Label: Relation
Definition: A related resource.
Comment: Recommended best practice is to identify the related resource
by means of a string conforming to a formal identification system.

So in our marc records, we have these 856 links, the meaning of which is
basically "some web page related to the entity at hand." You don't really
know the relation, the granularity is not there.
So, fine, data is data, there ought to be some way to model this in standard
XML/RDF/DC/whatever, right?
It's not dc:identifier, because dc:identifier ends up including all sorts of
URIs that are not really "web pages" at all, they are just identifiers of
various kinds. The marc 856s are URI's, it's true, but they really _aren't_
URIs given as "identifiers", they do not neccesarily identify the item at
hand at all, but they DO neccesarily lead to a web page with some "see also"
relationship to the entity at hand.
So... how would you include this in, say, a DC set in XML or RDF? Is there
any common way people have done this in the past?
Yeah, I _could_ just expose MODS or MARCXML or what have you. But I'm
looking for some vocabulary that will handle marc 856s, but also in the
future handle other "some kind of see also link" from other formats, when I
add other formats into my corpus. Any ideas?
