The purpose of this list is to select three types of relationships: individual relations (family, social etc.), membership of individuals in groups and "group to group" or organisational relationships.

This list has been developed by HURIDOCS. It is based on a list included in the previous edition of the HURIDOCS Standard Formats (1). The original codes from this list are included in the column 1st ed. Code.

This is a hierarchical list with three levels, as described in Rule No. 3 in the Introduction.

This Micro-thesaurus is used for field 2309 Type of Relationship in the Biographic Data format.
