DISMARC Metadata (Objects)
From DISMARC Help
DISMARC provides search options for whole collections and single objects (items).
The Metadata fields listed below are those to describe a single object. (Eg. a shellack album, a field recording, a CD track)
The overall concept of the DISMARC Object Application Profile is based on the Dublin Core Library Application Profile. Field names highlighted in red colour are mandatory fields.
Features:
- One of: The entry must be chosen out of a closed word list.
- Lookup List: When the field is selected for the search the user may open a so-called lookup list that contains all the entries that exist for this field in the database in alphabetical order. The user may scan through these entries and select them for the search out of the lookup list.
- Vocabulary: DISMARC offers for this field a controlled vocabulary. (Optional)
- TextLine: The collection owner may insert text here. These fields can not be viewed by any other user.
General Note:
- All Metadata fields might be duplicated.
- Controlled Vocabularies support the Browse and the Advanced Search functionality.
