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

The value "StillImage" comes from the DCMI Type Vocabulary.

"StillImage" is used instead of "Image" because the possibility exists that the present metadata may be merged into an archive that includes the type "MovingImage."
