Re: Qualified DC metadata HasPart and References question

I have had no problem with the following: 

For example, I have manuals for which I have the following:
VRS Employer Manual Has Part Chapter 1, VRS Employer Manual
VRS Employer Manual HasPart Chapter 2, VRS Employer Manual
etc.
and then 
Chapter 1, VRS Employer Manual IsPartOf VRS Employer Manual
Chapter 2, VRS Employer Manual IsPartOf VRS Employer Manual 

It gets fuzzy though, when I have a resource that is not an actual part of the parent resource.
So, I am understanding you to be saying that even if the attached item is not an excerpt of something else (IsPartOf another resource) or an actual portion of the parent resource, it can still be HasPart. Is this correct?

I had not even thought of including both References and HasPart.
Unfortunately, some of these items are not in the public domain. 
I hope to eventually gain enough trust from the Director and 
some of the other executives that I can obtain the originals that are included in these items. 

Thanks for your reply.

I would think of this as a needed external source -- if it is included,
the referenced (original) document will no longer be necessary for
functionality, delivery, ...

This seems to be the case for the above case. My basic example for
hasPart would be chapters of a book or papers in a collection a
conference proceedings volume. As an appendix can be thought of as a
special chapter, hasPart seems to be a good choice.

This could overlap with the "logical inclusion" in hasPart, so a link in
a webpage could be both. If the attached document is also
published/available separately, it could be given in both hasPart and
References (e.g. with just the name in hasPart and a fully qualified
citation in References)

I use DC qualifiers for a software library and there are some problems
with "fuzziness", as the terms are made with mainly text (in a natural
language) in mind. The problem is solved by establishing some
conventions for the use of the DC terms in the meta-meta documentation.
