Relations deals with the link that can be made between various records in the same database.
In this diagram you see three layers: the series, the parts and sub parts. A bibliographic record can be of a series title, which has relations to the records of the individual parts of the series. These records of the individual parts have a reciprocal relation to the main series record. On the other hand the individual parts can also link to sub parts like the individual tracks on a CD etc. These are also reciprocal.
The relationships are denoted by arrows in the diagram. It is important to note that a relationship between records can be made from a low level to a higher level or vice versa - the choice is yours. Note also that the reciprocal relation is created automatically by the system.
Vubis Smart has a list of relation types. You can look up this list through AFO 151 -> Relations. You can add new types if necessary.
