Element Description

The creator element refers to the entity primarily responsible for creating the image--the photographer.

Required?

No. If no creator information exists, the Creator element can be left blank.

Repeatable?

Can your element be repeated for multiple separate data entry lines? (Subject and Dates are good examples (the latter if multiple date definitions are deployed))

Guidelines for Creation of Content

This where your element's indexing guideline is written out. Whenever possible, you must write out a step-by-step data entry procedure including where to obtain the data for each image. (NOTE, not all elements are amenable to specific data entry procedures; we will discuss in class.)

Examples

If appropriate, provide data entry examples

Notes

Provide additional information about your element, including links to other guidelines with examples that clarify your entry.
