Overview of Relation Types used in the ResourceSync Framework

This document lists all relation types used in the ResourceSync Framework Specifications. Over time, additional relation types may be added if communities wish to use relation types not mentioned here previously. Table 1 gives an overview of all relation types, the specification in which they are defined and from which ResourceSync inherits their semantics. The table also provides references to the specification section in which the use of the corresponding relation type is shown.

Feedback to this document as well as to the ResourceSync specification is most welcome on the ResourceSync Google Group. We also invite communities to email requests to this group if they want relation types they use in their implementation listed here in this document.
