Institutions: Drop-down list for 510$i #1544

Open jenniferward opened 5 months ago

jenniferward commented 5 months ago

In Institutions: We have $i in 510 for Relationship information. It's a free-text field and the guidelines give some suggestions. The field might be easier to use if this were a drop-down list and more explicitly aligned with the RDA Agent Properties (https://www.rdaregistry.info/Elements/a/). For example, encode rdaa:P50008 "has hierarchical superior" for Hierarchical superior

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me!

I was reviewing the German translations, which made me not so happy. Let's make a selection of it and discuss this issue in the Zentralredaktion.

We can display whatever we want, in any language. The important thing is that we use the codes from this list.

jenniferward commented 5 months ago

Also note that the list of Agent properties has translations in 16 languages.

I think we can start with the properties given in the guidelines: rdaa:P50008 | Hierarchical superior rdaa:P50010 | Hierarchical subordinate rdaa:P50012 | Predecessor of corporate body rdaa:P50016 | Successor of corporate body rdaa:P50020 | Founding family of corporate body rdaa:P50230 | Corporate body member of corporate body rdaa:P50435 | Corporate body member of family rdaa:P50301 | Absorbed corporate body
