 ==== 3.2 Headings and Names ====
+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:ct_headings.png?300|Headings in the CERL Thesaurus}}
 The CERL Thesaurus records the preferred name forms of an entity as they are used in CERL Member libraries. Heading forms differ according to the language used for cataloguing and the cataloguing rules applied. The CERL Thesaurus does not declare one of these name forms as authoritative, but lists them alphabetically indicating the institutions that use that particular form. Thus, there is no "CERL form" for a heading. The name form given as a headline in a record's full display is the first heading recorded within that record, its prominent position does not imply any indication of preference for that form.

-.8 External Resources
+==== 3.8 External Resources ====
+Apart from linking to images of printers' devices, provenance marks or similar, there are two types of links to external resources from within a CERL Thesaurus record. One of it can link to any type of resource that is provides further information on the described entity or is relevant in any other way. This kind of link is displayed as "Online Resource" in the "More Information" section.
+The other kind of links are displayed in the right column and express a certain type of relationship between the described entity and the external resource. This could be:
+  * a bibliographic record in a library catalogue (or similar database)
+  * a search for books owned by the described person or corporate body in an external database
+  * a portrait/depiction of the described entity
+  * any entry in an online encyclopedia (e.g. Wikipedia) or biographic lexicon about the described entity
+  * the entry for the described entity in another authority file
+For a detailed description of the available fields and the input convention applying see:
+  * [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:856]]
+  * [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:956]]

-.10 Other Formats
+==== 3.10 Other Formats ====
+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:ct_rdf_turtle.png?300|CT Record as RDF}}
+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" based on Unimarc Authorities as a working format. Data can be entered and edited equally in either the old or the new format (see below).
+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".
