(Rep, Required when applicable)

The Relation field is used to record important intrinsic and/or extrinsic relationships with each other. Be sure to include reciprocal relationship fields in each of the applicable records.

• Intrinsic relationships essential for understanding a work, include whole-part relationships, groups and collections, series relationships, and component/architectural works.
• Extrinsic Relationships are not essential in identifying works, but help to enhance the information about the works. They are generally temporal (e.g. preparatory models, sketches, etc.), conceptual (e.g. works that reference or depict other works), or spatial (e.g. works that were meant to be displayed together).

For more information on Relation see CCO, pages 13-19.

To record what other work/s are related to the one currently being cataloged, use the following formula. “Title / Preferred name. Year”.

Use Relation type to explain how the works are related.

For a hierarchical relationship (group/collection/series to its parts), use:

• part of/largerContextFor - Use for extrinsic part/whole relationships between works.
• formerlyPartOf/formerlyLargerContextFor - Use to relate former extrinsic part/whole relationships between works. If possible, document when the relationship existed in a note.
• relatedTo/relatedTo: For other relationships not properly described above.

For a work with components (a looser relationship than the hierarchical relationship), use:

• componentOf/componentIs: Use for intrinsic hierarchical relationships between parts of complex works.
• partnerInSetWith/partnerInSetWith: Use to relate two or more works designed to be displayed together.
• relatedTo/relatedTo: For other relationships not properly described above.

For works related as steps in the creation process

• preparatoryFor/basedOn: Use to relate works done in preparation for further work.
• studyFor/studyIs: Use to relate works that explore a subject or are preliminary to a separate, more finalized work.
• cartoonFor/cartoonIs: Use to relate full-size preparatory drawings made for the purpose of transferring a design to the working surface of another work.
• modelFor/modelIs: Use to relate works that are scaled representations to the original work.
• planFor/planIs: Use to relate works that represent a projection upon a flat surface of another work.
• counterProofFor/counterProofIs: Use to relate impressions taken from a print or drawing by pressing it against a sheet of damp paper for the purpose of transferring a reverse image for rework to the finished work.
• printingPlateFor/printingPlateIs: Use to relate the plate used to create a print to the print itself.
• reliefFor/impressionIs: Use to relate seals, stamps, rings, etc. to the impressions made by them.
• prototypeFor/prototypeIs: Use for working models for a production run of identical items.
• relatedTo/relatedTo: For other relationships not properly described above.

For works designed to be displayed together

• designedFor/contextIs: Use to relate works that were designed in context to one another whether or not they were ever physically housed together e.g. chair designed for a house.
• mateOf/mateOf: Use to relate works designed to be displayed together.
• partnerInSetWith/partnerInSetWith: Use to relate two or more works designed to be displayed together.
• pendantOf/pendantOf: Use to relate works designed to be displayed together.
• exhibitedAt/venueFor: Use to relate an exhibition venue with its exhibited works
• relatedTo/relatedTo: For other relationships not properly described above.

For works copied after or depicting other works

• copyAfter/copyIs: Use to relate works that are copied after other works
• depicts/depictedIn: Use to relate works that depict other works.
• derivedFrom/sourceFor: Use to relate works that are derived from other works.
• facsimileOf/facsimileIs: Use to relate works that are precise reproductions, usually in the same dimensions as the original, of other works.
• replicaOf/replicaIs: Use to relate precise reproductions of valued objects, usually in the same dimensions as the original.
• versionOf/versionIs: Use to relate valued objects made by the same artist, craftsman, or studio that created an original on which it is closely based, and when the resulting work shows some variation from the original.
• relatedTo/relatedTo: For other relationships not properly described above.
