I'm trying to batch load a group of archives records with their series-item hierarchy into CollectionSpace. To figure out the necessary record structure, I used the UI to create a relationship (at the bottom of the Collection Object screen there is the section for _Object Hierarchy_) then looked at the /cspace-services/relations API endpoint to see the results. At that endpoint I can see the relationship document with `<relationshipType>hasBroader</relationshipType>` but what I can't find is relationship type identifier (from base-other-hierarchy.xml). It doesn't seem to be in the relationship document, nor in either of the collection object documents. Some hints?

Peter, A relation XML element of "relationshipMetaType" is what I think you're asking for. I think if you don't provide it in the relation part of the payload, there is an implied value of "Set"? I'm not 100% sure of that. For example, I created two cataloging records in the UI, related them with type "Derivative" and when using this API URL: http://localhost:8180/cspace-services/collectionobjects/70208419-7d8d-4b45-bfef?showAllRelations=true I get back this payload: <document name="collectionobjects"> <ns2:collectionspace_core xmlns:ns2="http://collectionspace.org/collectionspace_core/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">...</ns2:collectionspace_core> <ns2:collectionobjects_common xmlns:ns2="http://collectionspace.org/services/collectionobject" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">...</ns2:collectionobjects_common> <ns3:relations-common-list xmlns:ns3="http://collectionspace.org/services/relation" xmlns:ns2="http://collectionspace.org/services/jaxb"> <pageNum>0</pageNum> <pageSize>40</pageSize> <itemsInPage>1</itemsInPage> <totalItems>1</totalItems> <fieldsReturned> subjectCsid|relationshipType|predicateDisplayName|relationshipMetaType|objectCsid|uri|csid|subject|object </fieldsReturned> <relation-list-item> <uri>/relations/bc84d263-6183-4d8c-af35</uri> <csid>bc84d263-6183-4d8c-af35</csid> <subjectCsid>f42442f2-d1e4-4258-ab4e</subjectCsid> <relationshipType>hasBroader</relationshipType> <predicate>hasBroader</predicate> <relationshipMetaType>derivative</relationshipMetaType> <objectCsid>70208419-7d8d-4b45-bfef</objectCsid> <subject> <uri>/collectionobjects/f42442f2-d1e4-4258-ab4e</uri> <csid>f42442f2-d1e4-4258-ab4e</csid> <refName> urn:cspace:core.collectionspace.org:collectionobjects:id(f42442f2-d1e4-4258-ab4e)'middle' </refName> <name/> <number>middle</number> <documentType>CollectionObject</documentType> </subject> <object> <uri>/collectionobjects/70208419-7d8d-4b45-bfef</uri> <csid>70208419-7d8d-4b45-bfef</csid> <refName> urn:cspace:core.collectionspace.org:collectionobjects:id(70208419-7d8d-4b45-bfef)'top' </refName> <name/> <number>top</number> <documentType>CollectionObject</documentType> </object> </relation-list-item> </ns3:relations-common-list> </document> -Richard ________________________________________ From: Talk <talk-bounces@lists.collectionspace.org> on behalf of Peter Murray <jester@dltj.org> Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2016 12:58 PM To: CollectionSpace Talk List Subject: [Talk] Where is the predicate for hierarchical relationships stored?

Ah! That 'set' is an implied value was the missing bit. If I use a different relationship, then the relationshipMetaType shows up in the the relation document when querying the /cspace-services/relations API. Thanks, Richard.
