Jumirelated

Jumirelated is a term used in information science and digital humanities to denote items connected by a defined jumirelation within a data model or metadata schema. The jumirelation is a prescribed type of link that expresses a specific, non-identical relationship between resources, such as derivation, influence, or sequential linkage, depending on the schema in use.

Origin and usage: The term is a coined descriptor, with no universal standard or formal standardization. It appears mainly in experimental datasets, scholarly discussions, and prototype catalogs where researchers test how to formalize cross-resource connections that fall outside simple related to labels. Its meaning can vary by project, and it is often described in conjunction with a formal ontology or metadata framework.

Applications: In cataloging, search interfaces, and linked data contexts, jumirelated marks items that share a defined logical relation under a Jumi ontology or custom schema. Metadata fields may include a jumirelated property or a URI that points to the related resource, enabling query expansion and contextual navigation within a data ecosystem.

Examples: In a digital art archive, a painting and its preparatory sketch might be tagged jumirelated; in a bibliographic database, a monograph and its subsequent edition might be jumirelated. Variants and implementations differ across projects, but the core idea is to formalize a specific connective tissue between resources beyond generic “related” labels.
