How to sequence records within relationships

When PBCore is used to list related items, it can also express the nature of their interrelationships.

For example, when expressing an asset within pbcoreDescriptionDocument, use the sub-element structure of pbcorePart to define segments, stories or episodes.

Then utilize the element structure within ‘pbcoreRelation’ to articulate any associations between assets.
