+ | ==== 3.4 Notes and Biographical Data ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||

+ | Internally, CERL Thesaurus records are stored as JSON objects. From the web interface, the (actual) internal format of a record can be retrieved in JSON or YAML. For compatiblity reasons the interface also supports the old "CT Internal Format" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Additionally CT data can be retrieved in RDF as well (RDF/XML, Turtle or JSON-LD) to use it in Linked Data applications. There are, however, a few pieces of information that are currently not translated into RDF, so RDF description sets are marginally less complete than records in the (JSON-based) internal format or the old (Unimarc-based) "CT Internal Format" | ||
