lom:lom/relation/kind/value | Relation Kind | For each Relation 1 and only 1 | Controlled Vocabulary | A characterization of the kind of relationship identified by the Relation element. | This element should accompany every Relation element. Values should conform to the Dublin Core relation element refinements: http://purl.org/dc/terms/conformsTo, http://purl.org/dc/terms/hasFormat, http://purl.org/dc/terms/hasPart, http://purl.org/dc/terms/hasVersion, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isFormatOf, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isPartOf, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isReferencedBy, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isReplacedBy, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isRequiredBy, http://purl.org/dc/terms/isVersionOf, http://purl.org/dc/terms/references, http://purl.org/dc/terms/replaces, http://purl.org/dc/terms/requires, . This element should always be used in conjunction with a lom:lom/relation/kind/source element whose value is “http://purl.org/dc/terms/”. | http://purl.org/dc/terms/replaces (for older version of the Course) |
lom:lom/relation/resource/identifier/entry | Course | 1 or more | URI | The URI for the Course to which the Resource belongs. | This value should be autopopulated. | http://ocw.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/OcwWeb/Biology/7-88JProtein-Folding-ProblemFall2003 |
lom:lom/relation/resource/identifier/entry | Section | 0 or more | URI | The URI for the Section to which the Resource belongs. | This value should be autopopulated. | http://ocw.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/OcwWeb/Biology/7-88JFall-2007/Readings |
lom:lom/relation/resource/identifier/entry | Relation (to other Resources) | 0 or more | URI | The URI for a Resource related to the one described in the metadata record. | Each assigned Relation should be paired with a Relation Kind element that appropriately characterizes the relationship. Examples of related Resources include, but are not limited to: homework assignments and their solutions; homework assignments and student work; the different versions of a Resource in DSpace, Stellar, or OCW; original versions of a Resource and revised versions with copyrighted material replaced or removed, preceding and following Resources in a sequence, or Resources outside of OCW upon which the Resource relies, such as textbooks from which homework assignments are taken. The use of absolute, dereferenceable URIs are recommended for this element. URIs within OCW should be identical to the Identifier element of the pertinent Section or Resource. This element should always be used in conjunction with a lom:lom/relation/resource/identifier/catalog element. The value of that element should always be “URI”. | |
