View source for Supported Relator Roles

The roles for relators (authors, editors, etc.) supported in DiversityReferences 2.0 are based on the namespace <nowiki>http://www.loc.gov/marc.relators/</nowiki> (the namespace is resolvable; as of 2006-11 it was available at <nowiki>http://dublincore.org/usage/meetings/2004/03/Relator-codes.html</nowiki>; as of 2008-09 this URL is not resolvable any more). For example, the enumerated code “aut” for author corresponds to <nowiki>http://www.loc.gov/marc.relators/aut</nowiki>. The DublinCore Agents group is considering using the same codes (see http://www.loc.gov/marc/dc/Agent-roles.html), but as of 2004/6 the DublinCore Agents subgroup did not yet agree on a Creator/Contributor refinement as qualified.
