This workshop in the Metadata Principles and Practices focuses on the role of expressing relationships in metadata to enhance resource discovery.
Topics to be covered:

Learning Objectives:
- Describe the role of relationships in enabling resource acquisition
- Identify technologies for articulating relationships in metadata
- Assess the current status and potential of BibFrame as a replacement for MARC
