Just noticed this, <http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/relators/>. MARC (Library of Congress) relators are now part of Dublin Core, this allows refinements to meta-data like actor, composer, instrumentalist (of interest to kitchen sink metadata in Ogg/Vorbis). It still falls short of the more qualified relationships that might be available with Musicbrainz advanced relationships (eg guitarist etc), but I feel the Musicbrainz guidelines are still not perfectly documented. -- imalone
