Subj: RE: RELATION
I was going to deprecate the use of RELATION until I realized that it is (at
present) the *only* way you can say anything intelligent about links between
the various fragments you've had to split your resource up into for the
purpose of getting it into HTML. So I think it may be worth having. On the
other hand, this kind of thing can be done a lot more powerfully by other
means, and it's hardly likely that the RELATIONs between a set of
resource-instances are likely to be as permanent as the rest of
the metadata. So maybe I dont want it after all. Maybe Paul could tell us what
he wants it for?
