--- Comment #15 from verolencinas <verolencinas at yahoo.com.ar> ---
We are beginning to use this field to record instrument relationships. The idea
behind is that a catalog should be capable to show the network of relationships
between people, organizations, things, ideas, etc. But MARC21 reserves agency
only to persons and organizations. In a lot of fields (science, art, etc.)
instruments, tools, recording devices and other technical individuals have
strong agencies and it should be possible to relate them to a resource.
For example, we are starting to link publications and archival resources
(photographs, logbooks, notebooks, etc.) to the telescopes that were used in
their creation. For the telescopes we are using uniform title authority
records. Publications, logbooks and data recording notebooks will receive links
to the authority records.
This practice could also be useful to link recording devices for older
recordings in addition to notes (5XX fields).
In a future maybe we can have a more inclusive, simple but also granular data
model. But for now we are stuck with MARC and should be able to get the best
out of this situation.
