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)
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
