Although I'm agnostic on the issue of whether "isTranscriptOf"
is different enough from "isVersionOf" to be worth adding as an
OLAC domain refinement, I'd like to suggest that
"isTranscribedBy" is another kettle of fish.<br><br>
What you're really trying to do with that, I think, is describe a
contributor "role" rather than a relationship in the sense of
the other Relation refinements, none of which relate resources to
persons, only to other resources. This business of roles is
something that a lot of implementations want to do, and you'll be pleased
to hear DCMI is on the verge of making an official recommendation on how
to do that. The final documents are on the docket for the Usage
Board meeting in Shanghai in one week, and I don't anticipate that there
will be any impediments to recommendation by the board. How long it
will take to get the documentation out in official form is unknown, and
sad to say our record isn't very good on that, but we're trying to
improve ... ;-)<br><br>
Just a suggestion from left field, but I know you guys aren't interested
in reinventing wheels (far too much real work to do ... ).<br><br>
