....v1.2 of the pre-ballot i can vote on.
The Agent Role stuff in version 1.2b i will vote NO in total.
Reason:
The comment to AgentRole in v1.2b is in contradiction with
1. itself: how in the world the claim:
"It is important that such usage be identified and not recommended"
can be consistent with:
"Values for Agent Role may also come from uncontrolled lists of terms" ??
2. the principles: Agent Role is not an element refinement in itself.
It's values are candidates for CCP refiners, but it's even not clear how
this will be indicated.
3. the MARC Relator Codes: as those do not mark those CCP elements they might refine
or not.
So the comment to Agent Role forces the MARC Relator codes to be voted down.
A particularly obscure gadget is: Associated name [asn]. Which of CCP [asn] is
supposed to refine? It appears more vague to me than any of CCP!
4. the Getty stuff: how in the world this stuff (which allows to include a complete
genealogy back to Adam & Eve) will be encoded with DC?
How does "lover" refine CCP? Again: The Getty stuff gives no mentioning of DC
at all. So the comment to Agent Role forces it to become voted down.
A "lover" certainly is a Agent operating on a person, but it does not refine
either of CCP - as defined by DC.
Sorry! Both the MARC Codes and the Getty stuff are (very) valuable in itself. But they
semantically overlap seriously with CCP and i can't see how they could fit with
CCP in an obvious way.
The basic problem is: CCP are Agent Roles by themselves. Version 1.2. lists a few, which
actually refine "Contributor", so that could work with DC1.1
