Apologies for being one step behind in this debate (due in part to the time
difference!), but I don't think anyone has really addressed Ricky Erway's
point:
"The objection many of us have with 1:1 is in requiring 1:1
description for versions and derivatives. I want to be able to use
a
single DC record to describe a digital image of an Ansel Adams
photograph."
The official answer would be to catalogue all the intermediate versions and
refer back to source, or to put this information in DC.SOURCE, but wouldn't
these references be missed by search engines (the whole point of DC for
resource location) and rely on the researcher assiduously tracking down each
reference?
What if the organisation is digitising an art collection and does not hold
the originals?
