Input guidelines:
General guidelines.
- Use the note element to provide additional information, not entered elsewhere, to facilitate discovery of or enhance the use of the resource.
- This element corresponds to the "500" field in the MARC records used by many library catalogs.
- As a rule of thumb, do not search for extra information to place in the note field as this would make cataloging time too extensive. Use the note element when in the course of cataloging, the metadata cataloger becomes aware of additional information that may be of interest to the user.
Formulating the note.
- The note element is unstructured and may be constructed to suit the need identified by the metadata cataloger.
- Because the note element displays to the public, care should be taken to formulate the note in a way that is understandable to the user.
Related elements.
-
For preservation and metadata management related information, use the "Other Information" sub-element in the Metadata Information element.
