Element Description
The relation element allows us to clarify which images depict events that have occurred in a sequence.
Required?
No.
Repeatable?
No.
Guidelines for Creation of Content
boldIdentifier must be completed first.
1. Determine if the relation element is needed. If there are asterisks (*) in the image set, relation should be included.
2. Assume that the images with asterisks are already in sequential order and number them accordingly.
3. Add an underscore (_) and the relation number for each image after the identifier.
Examples
Image set [MFB_Texas09_CJ02674*, MFB_Texas09_KG01552*]
Number the images in the order in which the asterisks appear.
MFB_Texas09_CJ02674 is 1 and MFB_Texas09_KG01552 is 2.
Create identifiers according to the identifier guidelines.
MFB_Texas09_CJ02674 becomes 20100107CJ02674
MFB_Texas09_KG01552 becomes 20100107KG01552
Then, add _# in the order of the original sequence
20100107CJ02674 becomes 20100107CJ02674_1
20100107KG01552 becomes 20100107KG01552_2
Notes
The identifier element should be completed BEFORE the relation element.
