At Duke, we apply MARC relator terms in catalog records and finding aids e.g. creator, correspondent, collector, repository, illustrator, etc.; when exporting ead from ASpace, these terms are exported as MARC codes in the persname/corpname "role" attribute. We are interested in having these display along with the names in the finding aids in ArcLight, since they help clarify a person/corp. body's relationship to the content ("creator" or "subject" isn't always accurate)

Example with relators used at collection-level from https://archives.lib.duke.edu/catalog/lefroycapertonmontaguefamily (ead: https://archives.lib.duke.edu/catalog/lefroycapertonmontaguefamily/xml):

<origination label="creator">
<persname role="col" source="ingest">Bingham, Sallie</persname>
</origination>
<origination label="source">
<corpname role="rps" rules="dacs" source="naf">Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture</corpname>
</origination>

Example with relators used at file-level from https://archives.lib.duke.edu/catalog/jhfncart (ead: https://archives.lib.duke.edu/catalog/jhfncart/xml):

<controlaccess>
<persname role="egr" source="ulan">Bentley, Joseph Clayton</persname>
<persname role="art" source="ulan">Bartlett, William Henry</persname>
</controlaccess>

Should headings with roles include those roles for colocation (i.e. should clicking on Bentley, Joseph Clayton (engraver) return results for Bentley, Joseph Clayton)? Conversely, should clicking on/searching for a name with no/different relators return a name with a relator, or is the relator strictly for display within the record?

Is there a standardized/preferred rendering for relators alongside names?

I was thinking the name would colocate as it currently does (depending on whether the name is a "Creator" or "Name" [subject]), and the relator would be for display within the record only. This is how our OPAC behaves e.g. "Authors, etc." section of https://find.library.duke.edu/catalog/DUKE002408828
