Out of interest, why not use METS to encode this relationship at a book level?
As always with FEDORA there seem to be several ways to do things, so it is always useful to know why one particular one has been chosen. I find that a METS file for the book level digital object stores all the metadata in one place which simplifies reuse by applications. Although you can never eliminate getting data entry just plain wrong in any format, I could see a situation with the RDF solution where one mistake would mean you jumping into a different book altogether (as opposed to the file not found errors I get when I get the METS file wrong ...) - - - - - # Richard Higgins # Durham University Library # Archives & Special Collections # Palace Green # Durham # DH1 3RN # E-Mail: [email protected] From: Andrew Curley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 May 2010 22:17 To: [email protected] Subject: [Fedora-commons-users] Object Order Using RDF Does anyone have experience using RDF to describe sequential relationships between objects? For example, given two objects representing two page images, I wish to describe that one object precedes the other and/or that one object follows the other. There is nothing in the Fedora ontology that facilitates this relationship so I was wondering if anyone in the community has codified this relationship through RDF or knows of an RDF standard which facilitates this description.
