Place SES

This is a suggested string encoding scheme for an authorized access point of a place that is related to the manifestation.

The encoding scheme is applicable to the value of a has place associated with manifestation element or element sub-type.

The base access point of a place is a name of the place that is the most common in external sources of information.

The base access point may be followed by a set of qualifiers enclosed in brackets "(...)" and separated by semicolons "; ".

The ISBDM string template is:

[name of the place] + " (" + [qualifier] + "; " + [qualifier] + ")"

Add qualifiers to disambiguate the base access point.

Added qualifiers are conditional on specific characteristics of the place. They support a secondary collocation and sort order of authorized access points.

Use the following strings as qualifiers of a base access point:

  • A name of a larger place that includes the place
  • A category of place
