RE: vocabs, metadata set, datasets

This will likely need a little tweaking, but hopefully this gets us closer:

In some cases, individual records in a dataset are themselves used as values in records from another, separate dataset. For example, Jacques Derrida wrote a book that offers commentary on a book by Martin Heidegger.  Derrida's book is owned by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France (BnF) and is, therefore, recorded in the BnF dataset; Heidegger's book is owned by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB) and similarly recorded in the DNB dataset.  BnF staff can indicate, in the book's record in the BnF dataset, that Derrida's book offers commentary on Heidegger's book in the DNB dataset. The statement in the Derrida record might include a Dublin Core Subject property with, as its value, a reference to the Heidegger record in the DNB dataset.  In this case, we would still consider the BnF and DNB datasets as datasets, not a value vocabularies. 

Cordially,
Kevin

Hi Jodi,

X and Y would be two collections ("datasets") from two different
libraries. It could also be two subcollections or within one collection,
but I think making them separate ones will make it more illustrative.

Do you have a suggestion on how to clarify or replace X and Y with
specific existing collections/libraries as examples?

Mark
