V Description of the content class...


* --->
The metadata elements clustered under Relationships identify media items of similar intellectual content to the asset management record currently being browsed. Related media items fall into four groups:
1. Suggested Related Media
2. Is part of (parent relationship)
3. Is related to these parts (sibling relationship)
4. Has these parts (child relationship)

In each case, the four related groups exist as "Container" fields in Telescope. Only items and records internal to Telescope can be added to a Container Field. A related media item that is physically held external to Telescope cannot be added to a Container Field...but the record describing the external, physical media item could be. If it cannot, then the search that is conducted by the end user in order to discover media items on a certain subject will result in a list of externally held, physical media items.

If a media item is simply a different file format of exactly the same content as another media item, then, according to Telescope protocols, the assets are considered "renditions" of the same metadata record. For example, a transcript in PDF form is another rendition of a video clip.
