Definition
Information about a resource from which the current resource is derived.
Where Can the Source Information be Found?
For any type of item, source describes an original (physical or digital) resource from which the current resource is derived and may be found:
-
- by examining the item
- in accompanying or supplementary information
How Source Works in the Metadata Form
- Parts:
- 1. Source qualifier -- drop-down menu
2. Source -- text field - Repeatable?
- No - an item can only come from one source
How Should the Source be Filled in?
- This field is only used if the item is:
- a derivation (a single map from a book, an article from a journal, etc.)
- an item that was part of a larger event (a presentation from a conference, a piece from an exhibition, etc.)

- Choose the appropriate relation qualifier from the controlled vocabulary
- If none of the qualifiers applies to the item, the qualifier can be left blank
