The problem with "original" is that it doesn't tell you that the
relatedItem is the host, which is a necessary structural relationship
for the relatedItem.
This is where I can see the value of cataloging rules. They can tell you
where to stop ;-). I would apply a rule that I am cataloging the "item
in hand," i.e. the article in the CR. The information about it being
originally published in the LA Times would go into a note. It's
important information, but I'm not creating a record for the LA Times
article, I'm creating a record for the article in the CR, and that's
what I describe. The CR undoubtedly has a note saying where the article
first appeared, and I would quote that as a note in my metadata record.
In fact, that makes perfect sense because for all I know the CR got it
wrong, so all I'm doing is reporting what they say about the original
publication.
