I don't accept that 1:1 fails because someone decides to put Ricky erway in
a Creator field in a record where there probably ought not be one.
I do think that the question Daphne Charles asked the other day:
"What if the organisation is digitising an art collection and does not hold
the originals?"
reveals the differences here. In an image oriented world, an organization
that does not hold the originals does not have an art collection any more
that I have a collection of Shakespeare's folio's just because I own a
paperback reprint from the 1980's. It may have a slide collection cosisting
of photographs almost always taken by someone other than the artists.
The Source of my paperback may be Shakespeare's folio, and of Ricky's scan
is the Ansel Adams, but the digital file to which this metadata relates is
definitely not.
