Searching Relationships
A number of the search keys listed above allow to retrace the relationship between the entities described in the CERL Thesaurus. It is assumed that one part of the relationship is known, e.g. a person or a place and using this person's or place's id, we can retrieve the records that link back to it.
For example: Knowing the ID for the place “Tübingen”, we can retrieve persons who went to university here: studied_in:cnl00014526
