If you could send me a sample compound object (a multi page document would be lovely) that would be a real help for us.

When we saw your presentation example, we thought the same, that why to duplicate, but on the other-hand it seemed easier to store (and I think easier to display as well) the sequential information in METS. Not to mention, that I don't really have a clear vision, how to store page orders in RELS... :) We are really appreciate your efforts... :) Thanks, Jozsef OSA Archivum, Budapest IT Department >>> Scott Prater <pra...@wisc.edu> 8/31/2011 03:11 >>> Hello, Jozsef -- > Unfortunately the closest thing what I was able to find is the above > mentioned presentation, there are no RELS-INT examples > existing, and reading the Mailing-List debate about RELS-INT > (http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-commons-developers@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00418.html) > confused me a little bit about the future of the RELS-INT.

I gave that presentation before RELS-INT was a part of the Fedora core; but that was some time ago, and it has been in Fedora releases, and in use, for a while. We started using RELS-INT ourselves about a year ago, mostly to relate technical metadata datastreams to their bitstream datastreams. There's really not much of a secret to RELS-INT: you use it to specify relations among datastreams within an object in the same way RELS-EXT is used to provide relations among objects. I can send you some sample objects, if you're interested. > And another interesting part is, how should I store the order of the pages? > Should I include a datastream containing the Structural section of a METS > document? > Or should I create some meaningful relationships to use RELS-INT/RELS-EXT? We ended up creating a METS datastream to store sequence data and relationship data outside RELS-EXT. This is not ideal, as we end up duplicating some data in both RELS-EXT and the METS datastream, but the benefits so far have outweighed the costs of maintaining relations in two places. -- Scott Prater Library, Instructional, and Research Applications (LIRA) Division of Information Technology (DoIT) University of Wisconsin - Madison pra...@wisc.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
