Aktarlamarelated

Aktarlamarelated is a term used in some digital archives and cataloging systems to label a semantic relationship between items that are connected through a common archival act or event. It typically functions as a metadata tag or property intended to surface cross-references within a collection and to aid users in tracing the context of records.

Definition and scope

The aktarlamarelated relationship denotes that two or more records share a linkage created by an archival act, such as the same deed, filing event, collection, creator, or thematic gathering. It is distinct from person- or subject-based relationships and is aimed at linking records by their provenance or organizational context. The term is not part of a single universally adopted standard and its exact implementation can vary between institutions.

Origin and usage

The label appears in localized cataloging practices and data projects, often within contexts that emphasize provenance and archival connections. As a non-standardized term, its presence helps archivists and researchers navigate related materials that arise from the same act or event, while remaining adaptable to institution-specific metadata schemes.

Metadata and implementation

In practice, aktarlamarelated may be represented as a field or relation in a record, containing identifiers of related items or a descriptive note about the nature of the relation. Implementations can range from simple boolean indicators to explicit links in linked data formats (for example, aligning with concepts in FRBR, CIDOC CRM, or other archival ontologies). Careful documentation helps ensure interoperability when sharing records between systems.
