occurrence-variants

Type(s): Issue

Description
- Should occurrences be allowed to have variants in the same way that topic names are?
Discussion
- I think they should. The argument is that occurrences reference information resources, and that they can have alternative renditions applicable in different contexts. - Scope: Geir Ove Grønmo
Resolution
- Whatever the merits or demerits of this proposal it goes beyond 'restatement of ISO 13250', and variants on occurrences should not be added to this version of 13250.
