2010-11-08: version 1.0. This schema version provides a common, single schema for contributing content to cultural
heritage repositories. It meets the requirements articulated by CDWA Lite, museumdat and SPECTRUM.
It is a substantial redesign and enhancement of the CDWA Lite and museumdat schemas based on
recommendations of the CDWA Lite/museumdat Working Group, community feedback and further CIDOC-CRM analysis. It includes additional concepts to meet SPECTRUM requirements.
The schema supersedes both the CDWA Lite v1.1 schema and the museumdat v1.0 schema and serves as the
harvesting schema for contributing museum information for resource discovery.

Definition: A wrapper for one event related to the described event.
Sequence:
Definition: Display and index elements for the event related to the event being recorded.
Definition: A term describing the nature of the relationship between the described event and the related event.
How to record: Example values: part of, influence of, related to.Indicate a term characterizing the relationship from the perspective of the currently described event towards the related event. Preferably taken from a published controlled vocabulary.
Notes: For implementation of the data, note that relationships are conceptually reciprocal, but the Relationship Type is often different on either side of the relationship.
relatedWorkSetComplexType (complex type)
Definition: A wrapper for one object / work, group, collection, or series that is directly related to the object / work at hand, including direct relationships between the two, between an object / work and its components, and between an item and the larger group, collection, or series.
How to record: If there is more than one object / work referred to then the set should be repeated.Preferably taken from a published controlled vocabulary.
Notes: Objects referred to may be corresponding object / works or those created to be shown together with the object / work in question, but also e.g., literature (bibliographic objects) in which the object / work is documented or mentioned forms a "relatedWorkSet".
Sequence:
Definition: Wrapper for the display and reference elements of a related object / work.
Definition: A term describing the nature of the relationship between the object / work at hand and the related entity.
How to record: Example values: part of, larger context for, model of, model for, study of, study forrendering of, copy of, related to.Indicate a term characterizing the relationship from the perspective of the currently described object / work towards the related object / work.
Notes: For implementation of the data, note that relationships are conceptually reciprocal, but the Relationship Type is often different on either side of the relationship (e.g., one work is part of a second work, but from the point of view of the second record, the first work is the larger context for the second work). Whether or not relationships are physically reciprocal as implemented in systems is a local decision.
