PROPOSITION:
RELATION is an important element, but as yet there is no clear way to
express it consistently, and hence it should be deprecated.
PRO: Without clear guidelines, use of this element will be haphazard and
confusing
CON: While it may not be clear how to best express this element, it is
widely recognized as an essential descriptor for placeing digital
objects in the context of others. Its use can be discouraged in
the short term pending the results of a working group to provide
usage guidance.
