Entry guidelines

This element describes a link between two resources included in the FAILTE database. Each relationship type recorded in a single record will be linked to a FAILTE ID number. Any number of such pairs of entries can be created for each record. Relationship types can be repeated, since more than one resource might be related in the same way to the resource being catalogued.

The description of the relationship will use the vocabulary recommended by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative as a qualifier for the element DC.Relation, which is also recommended by IMS for its relation.kind element. The default entry "none" has been added to the list for FAILTE purposes.
