==== Application of Content Designators ====

=== Indicators ===

** $a Gender Code **
A one-character code that indicates the gender of the person described. The following codes may be used:

|a|female|
|b|male|
|c|transgender|
|u|unknown|
|x|not applicable|

==== Input Conventions ====
Instead of using code ''x'' it is recommended to skip this field altogether.


==== Mapping ====
For the creation of an RDF description, the following mapping is applied:

|$a|rdaGr2:gender|only for code values ''a'', ''b'' and ''u''|

  * rdaGr2 represents the namespace "http://rdvocab.info/ElementsGr2"
  * The RDA ontologies are registerd with the open metadata registry ([[http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/15.html]])
  * The vocabulary used is the RDA Gender list ([[http://metadataregistry.org/concept/list/vocabulary_id/101.html]])

** Mapping Example **
<code>
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://cttest.cerl.org/cnp00105412">
   <rdaGr2:gender rdf:resource="http://rdvocab.info/termList/gender/1002"/>
</rdf:Description>
</code>
