Relation

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

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.

i.e. given the set [img_8237*, img_9283*, img_7274*], img_8237 is 1, img_9283 is 2, and img_7274 is 3. 

3. Using the established identifier for each image, add an underscore (_) and the relation number for each image.

i.e. img_8237 would become "identifier_1"

Examples

Image set [MFB_Texas09_CJ02674*, MFB_Texas09_KG01552*]

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.
