  Relationships
  

3
Bibliographic Relationships Definition

• Bibliographic Relationships exist when two or
  more bibliographic entities (works, items,
  documents, objects, etc.) are associated with
  each other in some way

4
Bibliographic Relationship Types

• Whole-Part
• Derivative
• Accompanying
• Equivalence

• Sequential
• Descriptive
• Shared Characteristic

5
Shared Characteristics

• A relationship that exists between bibliographic
  entities that are not otherwise related, but have
  some characteristic in common (e.g., author,
  title, subject, language, publisher, etc.)

6
Derivative Relationship

• A relationship that exists between any new
  conception of a work and its original source (the
  progenitor), or a successor, or both

7
Types of Derivative Relationships

• Simultaneous derivations
• Successive derivations
• Translations
• Amplifications

• Extractions
• Adaptations
• Performances
• Predecessor derivations

8
Whole-Part Relationship

• A relationship that exists between a segment or
  component part of a bibliographic entity and its
  whole

9
Accompanying Relationship

• A relationship that exists between the primary
  musical entity and the complementary material
  that occurs with it
  

10
Equivalence Relationship

• A relationship that exists between exact copies
  of the same manifestation of a work, or between
  an original item and a reproduction of it, when
  the intellectual content and authorship are
  preserved

11
Sequential Relationship

• A relationship that exists between bibliographic
  entities that precede or continue one another,
  with the aspects of chronology and sequence, but
  are not derivative

12
Descriptive Relationship

• A relationship that exists between a
  bibliographic entity and a description,
  criticism, or evaluation of that entity

14
Primary Relationships

• Those relationships that are implicit among the
  bibliographic entities of work, expression,
  manifestation, and item

15
Sibling Relationships

• Those relationships that exist between various
  expressions of a work, various manifestations of
  an expression, and various copies (i.e., items)
  of a manifestation

16
Content Relationships

• Those relationships where the content is in a
  transitory state, forming a continuum of
  intellectual or artistic content starting from an
  original (progenitor) work
• equivalence relationships
• derivative relationships
• descriptive relationships

17
Whole-Part Part-Part Relationships

• This separate grouping includes
• accompanying relationships
• sequential relationships

18
Responsibility (Agent) Relationships

• A relationship that exists between a
  bibliographic entity and the persons or corporate
  bodies that are responsible for some action
  related to the entity (author, composer,
  producer, publisher, etc.)

19
Subject Relationships

• A relationship that exists that exists between
  works and entities that can be subjects, i.e.
  another work, expression, manifestation, item,
  person, corporate body, concept, object, event,
  or place

Contributors to Syndetic Structure

• Cataloging Code (AACR)
• governs content of bibliographic record
• MARC Formats
• govern structure of bibliographic record
• OPAC system design
• governs indexing structure linkage
  capabilities
  
• OPAC Interface
• governs display of bibliographic records

22
Linkage Functions

• To Identify the existence and type of
  relationship
  
• To Link bibliographic records for related entities

23
Linking Devices

• References
• See, See also, etc.
• Access Points
• Name/title, uniform title, series, title, etc.
• Notes
• Contents, form medium of performance, edition
  history, etc.
  
• Other Information
• Statements of responsibility, musical
  presentation, physical description, etc.

24
Linkage Types

• Explicit Linkages (Formal)
• Directional
• Automatic (Direct)
• Puccini, Giacomo, 1858-1924. O dolci mani
• Search under
• Puccini, Giacomo, 1858-1924. Tosca. O dolci
  mani
  

25
Options for Direct Links

• MARC record linking fields
• Encoded bibliographic data in HyperText Mark-up
  Language
  
• Metadata relationship elements with embedded
  HyperLinks

26
Linkage Types

• Implicit Linkages (Informal)

• Used to organize retrieval sets and display
  complex information
  
• 3-dimensional graphical plots use spatial
  adjacency to indicate relationships
