MODS Element description
Element <relatedItem>
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/relateditem.html
Guidelines for use
<relatedItem> is a container element for subelements describing a related resource. Use attributes to mark the type of relationship between the main resource described in the MODS metadata and the related resource. The DAMS currently allows to explicitly mark relationships between series and parts of a series, and parent/child relationships (e.g. multi-part monographs). For other kinds of relationship between a resource and related resources, do not add a 'type' attribute.
Attributes
Attribute name | Details | XPath syntax examples |
|---|---|---|
type | value:
| relatedItem[@type="host" and @displayLabel="Parent work"] relatedItem[@type="series"] |
displayLabel | value:
For DAMS metadata about Related Resource, the attribute value for displayLabel depends on the attribute value for type. | relatedItem[@type="host" and @displayLabel="Parent work"] relatedItem[@type="series"] |
Subelements
For information about a Related Resource, the following subelements of <relatedItem> are used in the DAMS:
