I THINK you should be able to add multiple roles refines to one dc entry, but the Metadata Editor doesn't seem to accommodate it.
When I do it manually in the OPF file -- something like:
Code:
<dc:creator id="cre1">Author Person</dc:creator>
<meta refines="#cre1" scheme="marc:relators" property="role">aut</meta>
<dc:contributor id="contrib1">Editor Person</dc:contributor>
<meta refines="#contrib1" scheme="marc:relators" property="role">edt</meta>
<meta refines="#contrib1" scheme="marc:relators" property="role">edc</meta>
then EpubCheck has no complaints. but only one role survives when trying to add/edit multiple roles for one dc entry with the Metadata Editor.
I don't know if that's an issue with the Editor, or if my understanding of the spec is faulty. If EpubCheck doesn't complain, though, it's probably the former. I'll let someone else chime in for sure. In the meantime, manually editing the OPF to add multiple roles to one individual seems to work. I'd just make it the last thing you do, so it doesn't get trashed by the editor when you make a change.
