From Data Policy Records

A summary of all of the relations that you may use when editing a policy record

This table summarises only those relationships available from within Policy records. Other documentation in this section covers standards, databases, collections and organisations. The Display Location column below tells you where each relationship can be found in our record display.

You may also wish to review the types of policies available in FAIRsharing.

Label	Restrictions	Description	Display location
related_to	Any policy to any other policy	This is our most generic relationship, and can be used between most record types. Use this if the more fine-grained relationships are not applicable.	RELATED POLICIES
extends	A policy to any other policy	This resource extends or builds upon another 'parent' policy. Policies using this relationship to link to a 'parent' policy recommend both 1) the resources listed directly within the record, and 2) all resources listed in this record's parent policies.	RELATED POLICIES
recommends	A policy to any standard or database	A standard or database can be recommended by a data policy	RELATED STANDARDS or RELATED DATABASES
deprecates	Any record to any other of the same registry	The linked resource has been retired as it is no longer active or actively maintained	RELATED POLICIES
collects	any collection to any database, standard, collection or policy	This relationship is not accessible from a policy record; however, any collections that include your record will be automatically displayed.	IN COLLECTIONS

You may layer these relationships to more precisely describe what is available to your users. For instance, a policy might both extend a particular policy and also recommend it. As the maintainer of a record, you can choose the level of detail; as with most FAIRsharing metadata, we are here to help you provide the level of detail that is most useful to your stakeholders. You can use the "related to" relationship, or can choose to itemise all or some of the different types of relationships you have with other resources; it's up to you.

Adding your record to another data policy that recommends it or a collection that collects it requires updates to that policy or collection; such edits cannot be performed in your own record. If you would like your record added to a policy or collection, please get in touch with our curation team.
