Additional information​

An access point of a manifestation is assigned by a cataloguing agency and constructed by applying a string encoding scheme to the values of attributes and relationships of the manifestation.

Element values​

The value of an access point is a literal string (a nomen string).

Record a value that is:

  • a string that is an access point that appears in an authority file
  • a string that is constructed with a string encoding scheme
  • an IRI for the access point that appears in an authority file
String encoding schemes​

A string encoding scheme should construct the base access point from a value of a has title of manifestation element or element sub-type. The scheme should omit leading articles and punctuation so that the base appears in a browse index in order of the first significant word.

If no value of a has title of manifestation element is available, a string encoding scheme should construct the base access point from a title that is assigned by a cataloguing agency.

A string encoding scheme should use values of the following elements as qualifiers of a base access point:

A string encoding scheme should use values of any elements as qualifiers, if it is considered to be useful for users of the metadata.

Stipulations​

Use the element super-type to record a less specific relationship.

Examples
PropertyValue
has appellation of manifestation"Catalogue of shipwrecked books (2018; William Collins; volume; case binding)"

[Full example: Catalogue of shipwrecked books ​(2018; William Collins; volume; case binding). The value is an access point of the manifestation.]

Use an appropriate element sub-type to record a more specific relationship.

Apply the stipulations for the element super-type unless indicated otherwise.

Record a single occurrence of the element that is selected from one or more values that are associated with the manifestation. Use the following order of preference:

  1. Nomen that is an authorized access point of the manifestation
  2. Nomen that is a variant access point of the manifestation

Record additional occurrences of the element, if it is considered to be useful for users of the metadata.

If the access point does not appear in an authority file, record a value that is constructed with a string encoding scheme.

For an access point that is based on a title of the manifestation, and if no title appears in any statement of title and responsibility in the manifestation or in external sources of information, record a value that is based on a title that is assigned by a cataloguing agency. An assigned title should be concise and reflect the distinctive characteristics of the manifestation or its embodied content. An assigned title should be consistent with a language and script of the embodied text or a language and script that is preferred by the cataloguing agency. Record a has note on nomen associated with manifestation element that indicates that the title is assigned.
