The large finding aid project I'm working on will eventually require many
internal links among the 15,000 item-level entries. I'm trying to plan
ahead for this linking and wonder if anyone has experience they can share.
Briefly, many of the item-level entries will be part of a five-entry web
consisting of two sibling entries (a sound recording and a typescript) and
several children (dubbed recordings, transcriptions and fair copies). The
pattern is something like this:
(1)Recording [is sibling of] (2)Text [made simultaneously].
(1) has 3 children created subsequently: (1a)Recording, (1b)Recording, and
(1c)Transcription.
(2) may also have one or more children.
Providing five or more one-way links from each of these entries seems
redundant. I'd like to find a more efficient way. Does anyone have
experience with this kind of problem? Can you point me to a successful
implementation?
Thanks in advance,
Bob Walser
