Re: ISBD Ontology and Statement of Responsibility

Thanks both - v helpful.

On 250$b - agree that where this is a statement of responsibility it maps to isbd:hasStatementOfResponsibilityRelatingToEdition - unfortunately 250$b is overloaded, and can contain other 'edition' information that isn't statement of responsibility.

Thanks again,

Owen

That's my personal opinion, and does not reflect any official view of the ISBD Review Group (we are hoping to do some work on mapping the ISBD namespace properties to UNIMARC over the next year, but that's only just beginning).

It looks like the proposed isbd ontlogy may be our best bet for an appropriate property. Is it possible to say that 245$$c would always be expressed as 'hasStatementOfResponsibilityRelatingToTitle' (http://metadataregistry.org/schemaprop/show/id/1948.html), or would it be 'hasStatementOfResponsibilityRelatingToEdition' (http://metadataregistry.org/schemaprop/show/id/1951.html), or would it depend on context etc?
