Here is a recent translation of the Fedora Rels Ext ontology in n3 for discussion purposes
These are the namespace/prefix mappiings utilized int he examples below

The primitive property for all object-to-object relationships in the fedora ontology
<rels:fedoraRelationship> |
<b>Comments:</b>
<b>Is Part Of</b>
A definition of the generic part/whole relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object representing a part and the predicate is a fedora object representing a whole.
<rels:isPartOf> |
<b>Has Part</b>
A definition of the generic part/whole relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object representing a whole and the predicate is a fedora object representing a part.
<rels:hasPart> |
<b>Comments:</b>
<b>Is Constituent Of</b>
This is a refinement of the generic part/whole relationship in the "made of" sense with referential integrity implications. The subject is a fedora object representing a constituent part and the predicate is a fedora object representing a whole of which the subject is a constituent. The constituent part cannot stand alone in any meaningful way without reference to the whole.
<rels:isConstituentOf> |
<b>Has Constituent</b>
This is a refinement of the generic part/whole relationship in the "made of" sense with referential integrity implications. The subject is a fedora object representing a whole that is made of constituent parts and the predicate is a fedora object representing one of the constituent parts. The whole loses its integrity if the constituent part is removed.
<rels:hasConstituent> |
<b>Comments:</b>
<b>Is Member Of</b>
This is a refinement of the generic part/whole relationship that defines a set membership relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object representing a member of a set and the predicate is a fedora object representing a whole set of which the subject is a member. The member can be separated from the set and still stand alone as an object in its own right.
<rels:isMemberOf> |
<b>Has Member</b>
This is a refinement of the generic part/whole relationship that defines a set membership relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object representing a whole set and the predicate is a fedora object representing a member in the set. The set does not lose its integrity if a member is removed from the set.
<rels:hasMember> |
<b>Comments:</b>
<b>Is Subset Of</b>
This is a refinement of the generic set membership relationship to indicate the notion of a subset. The subject is a fedora object that represents a subset and the predicate is a fedora object that represents the set of which the subject is a subset.
<rels:isSubsetOf> |
<b>Has Subset</b>
This is a refinement of the generic set membership to indicate the notion of a subset. The subject is a fedora object that represents a set of objects and the predicate is a fedora object that represents a subset of the subject set.
<rels:hasSubset> |
<b>Commnets:</b>
<b>Is Member of Collection</b>
This is a refinement of the generic membership relationship to indicate the notion of a digital collection. The subject is a fedora object representing an item in a digital collection and the predicate is a fedora object representing a whole digital collection.
<rels:isMemberOfCollection> |
<b>Has Collection Member</b>
This is a refinement of the generic membership to indicate the notion of a digital collection. The subject is a fedora object representing a whole digital collection and the predicate is a fedora object representing an item that is a member of the digital collection.
<rels:hasCollectionMember> |
<b>Is Derivation Of</b>
A definition of a generic derivation relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object that represents a derivation of the predicate which is another fedora object.
<rels:isDerivationOf> |
<b>Has Derivation</b>
A definition of a generic derivation relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object and the predicate is a fedora object that represents a derivation of the subject.
<rels:hasDerivation> |
<b>Is Dependent Of</b>
A definition of a generic dependency relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object that represents a dependent and the predicate is another fedora object that is depended upon by the subject.
<rels:isDependentOf> |
<b>Has Dependent</b>
A definition of a generic dependency relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object that is depended upon and the predicate is a fedora object that represents a dependent of the subject.
<rels:hasDependent> |
<b>Is Description Of</b>
A generic descriptive relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object that represents a descriptive entity and the predicate is a fedora object that is being described in some manner by the subject.
<rels:isDescriptionOf> |
<b>Has Description</b>
A generic descriptive relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object that is being described in some manner and the predicate is a fedora object that represents a descriptive entity that is about the subject.
<rels:HasDescription> |
<b>Is MetadataFor</b>
A refinement of the generic descriptive relationship indicating a metadata relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object that represents metadata and the predicate is a fedora object for which the subject serves as metadata.
<rels:isMetadataFor> |
<b>Has Metadata</b>
A refinement of the generic descriptive relationship indicating a metadata relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object and the predicate is a fedora object that represents metadata about the subject.
<rels:HasMetadata> |
<b>Is Annotation Of</b>
A refinement of the generic descriptive relationship indicating a commentary relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object that represents an annotation or comment and the predicate is a fedora object that is being commented upon by the subject.
<rels:isAnnotationOf> |
<b>Has Annotation</b>
A refinement of the generic descriptive relationship indicating a commentary relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object that is being commented on and the predicate is a fedora object that represents an annotation or comment about the subject.
<rels:HasAnnotation> |
<b>Has Equivalent</b>
A definition of a generic equivalence relationship between fedora objects. The subject is a fedora object that is equivalent to the predicate which is another fedora objects.
<rels:hasEquivalent> |
