- | 3.3 Sources | + | ==== 3.3 Sources |
+ | |||
+ | The CERL Thesaurus records three types of sources for the information given in a record: reference works, editions printed/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is no prescribed syntax or a controlled list of abbreviations for reference works in the "Found In" field. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The CERL Thesaurus is neither a bibliographic database nor a provenance database, so editions and copies are recorded only as sources of evidence. Complete lists of works printed, written or owned by an entity can be provided elsewhere (e.g. HPB, HPB-Item, MEI etc) and a link can be made from the Thesaurus record instead. | ||

+ | Sources that apply to a specific piece of information only (such as bibliographic data or an individual variant name form) are recorded in that particular field. | ||
3.4 Notes and Biographical Data | 3.4 Notes and Biographical Data | ||
- | 3.5 Related Places | + | There are four categories of (public) notes in a CERL Thesaurus record: |
+ | |||
+ | //**General notes**// can hold any information on the described entity that does not fit in any of the other categories. | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the form based editor biographical data and date of activities are two separate fields, while in the (Unimarc-based) "CT Internal Format" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Any other information about a person' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Any aspect of the entity' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unless controlled vocabulary or codes are used, all note fields are free-text fields, which means that the language of the note is always indicated. Note fields also provide a subfield to record the source the information is taken from. | ||

+ | ==== 3.5 Related Places | ||
+ | Records for persons, printers and corporate entities can be linked to places where they have lived or have been active in any way. The type of relationship between such an entity and a place can be specified as well, which facilitates more sophisticated search queries (for example for persons that went to school in a given place). It is possible to record also an address together with the place name. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There can also be a relationship between two places. Currently it is possible to describe a place as being a part of another, larger place, for example a village that is nowadays part of a larger city. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are a number of place name records that do not describe an individual place but a place name that is the name for a number of places. These records are marked as being "used for more than one entity" | ||
+ | |||
+ | If there is no further specification of how a place is related to the entity described in the record, ' | ||

+ | ==== 3.6 Other Related Entities (Persons, Printers, Corporate Bodies) ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | CERL Thesaurus records for persons, printers and corporate bodies can link to other records for any of these entity types to indicate family relationships, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Records for places can only link to other places, not to persons, printers or corporate bodies (while any of these can link to a place record). | ||

+ | |||
+ | In the Unimarc-based //CT Internal Format// three different fields are used, depending on the type of entity the link points to. In the form based editor there is only one (complex) data entry field for links to persons, printers and corporate bodies. Here the type of the target entity is selected from the drop down list. | ||
+ | ==== 3.7 Signs, Marks, Devices ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Any sign, image or mark associated with a given entity can be described in the records for persons, corporate bodies and printers. This could be provenance marks, library stamps, printers devices etc. Signs, particularly printers' | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Images of the actual entities themselves (e.g. portraits) can be added as well. It is however not possible to upload image data to the CERL Thesaurus server, instead a link to an external resource is set. When doing so, make sure that the intellectual property rights of others are not violated. For a detailed description of the input convention applying see: | ||
