Quoting "J. McRee Elrod" <[email protected]>:
This would seem most evident in entires to which relationship
designators have been added. Wouldn't to URIs be required, one to the
name as established, and one to the relationship designator?
Yes, both would get URIs. I admit I was glossing over that for fear of
muddying the waters, but perhaps that is clear to folks now.
Relationship designtors move description associated with a particular
edition into the entry, the opposite of moving 110 $kTreaties, etc. to
240.
... it cannot link directly to a 1XX/240 combination.
Again, wouldn't two URIs be required, one for the name, and one for
the uniform filing title? That's assuming all uniform filing titles
are established, both unique and form, and that there exist
undifferentiated uniform filing titles like "Works".
It depends on what you consider to be the "unit" you wish to link to.
If you are linking two works, then you need an identifier for the Work
itself, not its separate parts. This is another area where the MARC
structure and FRBR/RDA are not in sync: there is no single place in
MARC where you can identify the Work. (hmmm, was that in one of the
MARBI proposals? I've lost track.) If you consider both the 1xx/24x
combo to represent a work (yes, that is an over-simplification for the
purposes of example), and you also consider the 7xx$a$t to represent a
work, you have to treat them the same for linking since they really
should link to the same "thing/Work".
It gets even more complex if you think about linking expressions or
manifestations. There's nothing nearly as neat as an author/title
uniform title authority entry that would identify those. And I do
believe that there is the assumption in linked data that links are
between single entities (e.g. work to work, work to expression, person
to work, but not author & title to work or author & title to author &
title). I suspect this is a requirement to make the technology
manageable on a large scale. There are ways to "group" things so that
they get a single identifier, much like we do with author/title
entries in our authority data. That doesn't mean that you don't also
have an identifier for the author by itself -- you do, just as we do
in name authorities.
