[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Using Related Accessions component within an accession

[Brad Westbrook]

Hi, Jordan,

There is a section in the ASpace user manual suggesting ways to relate accessions to each other (see https://docs.archivesspace.org/Default.htm#LinkRelatedAccession.htm%3FTocPath%3DManaging%2520Accessions%2520%7C_____23).  The whole/part relationship is unique to this relationship, whereas the sibling relationship is somewhat duplicative of the accession / resource relationship.

Here is a simple use case that has been offered for the whole/part relationship:

A repository buys at auction a lot of manuscripts, for which it pays a single fee.  The repository then creates an accession record for the lot and an accession record each item in the lot.

Cheers,

Brad

Hello,

It's also not clear to us if there's a specific way one should use the "Related accessions" field within an accession-unlike "Related resources," which I take is meant to be used when linking a spawned resource.

If there's documentation spelling out how this field should be used, or if any of you have local practices you can share, I would appreciate it.

Best,

Jordon
