A record consisting of a group description (with subworks and optional surrogates) or a work description (with optional surrogates), plus a section of administrative information about the record. If a Harvard repository occurs in any repositoryName element at the group, work, or subwork level, set this attribute to "true". NB: if a Harvard repository occurs ONLY in a surrogate-level repository name BUT NOT at higher levels in the record, set this to "false". If there are any image elements in the record, set this attribute to "true". If there are no image elements, set it to "false". A count for the number of images in a given record. This information will be created by the loader and not by the contributing systems. A count for the number of surrogates in a given record. This information will be created by the loader and not by the contributing systems. A count for the number of subworks in a given record. This information will be created by the loader and not by the contributing systems. An attribute to sort by title on. This allows the loader to determine the correct title to sort on. An attribute to sort by Creator on. This allows the loader to determine the correct Creator to sort on. An attribute to sort by Worktype on. This allows the loader to determine the correct Worktype to sort on. An attribute to sort by Date on. This allows the loader to determine the correct Date to sort on. An attribute to sort by Culture on. This allows the loader to determine the correct Culture to sort on. The size of the record in bytes. Used to preload large records for speed An attribute to select the primary image to be shown to represent a work or group with surrogates. An aggregate description of multiple works, sites, or objects, some of which must also be individually described as subworks within this record. Where multiple works, site, or objects are described together, but none are described separately, use the work element fo the aggregate description. An individually described unit within a larger described group, e.g. a cup in a teaset, one photo in a folder, one building in a complex. Description of a single image representing the described work, subwork, or group. Surrogate descriptions in VIA represent instances and must be identified as belonging to a particular repository, e.g., Countway's copy of a photograph, not the abstraction of a photograph which could exist in separate copies in different locations. However, a given surrogate can represent both a print photograph and its digital representation(s). A work element describes a single object, site, etc. It should also be used for descriptions of multiple objects, sites, etc. when no individual descriptions or the components are present. Use for names other than creators and producers/publishers. E.g., use for donors, patrons, former owners, sitters, etc. Coordinates is a non-displaying, non-searched value to be used prospectively in any mapping services developed for VIA. Information that is intended to be searched and displayed about a place should be supplied in the "place" element under the placeName, production, or location elements. The VIA coordinates element is a copy of the OpenGIS Geography Markup Language Specification 3.0 CoordinatesType. symbol used for a decimal point (default=”.” a stop or period) symbol used to separate components within a tuple or coordinate string (default=”,” a comma) symbol used to separate tuples or coordinate strings (default=” “ a space) Use country for the name of a country or other geographic unit that is the next geographic unit smaller than a continent or worldRegion. country is a non-displaying, non-searched value to be used prospectively in any mapping services developed for VIA. Information that is intended to be searched and displayed about a place should be supplied in the "place" element under the placeName, production, or location elements. Use for people and organizations that have a creative responsibility for the object(s), site(s), etc. described. Used in the creator and associatedName elements, and by extension in the relatedWork element. Used by the name browse list to display the name and the birth and or death dates of a person. Use for names of people or organizations that have a non-creative role in the production of the object(s), site(s), etc. described. Manufacturers and publishers belong in this element. Used to point to works related to the work described, for example, works derived from this work, works from which this work was derived, works represented in this work. A string which displays in front of the remaining subelements, e.g., a phrase such as "Is part of". This is the title of the related work. Use siteCity for the name of a site, city, etc. siteCity is repeatable within the geodata element, and can be used for all geographic units smaller than a state or province. siteCity is a non-displaying, non-searched value to be used prospectively in any mapping services developed for VIA. Information that is intended to be searched and displayed about a place should be supplied in the "place" element under the placeName, production, or location elements. Use stateProvince for the name of a state, province, district, or region that is the next geographic unit smaller than a country. stateProvince is a non-displaying, non-searched value to be used prospectively in any mapping services developed for VIA. Information that is intended to be searched and displayed about a place should be supplied in the "place" element under the placeName, production, or location elements. Use worldRegion for the name of a continent or other geographic unit larger than a country. worldRegion is a non-displaying, non-searched value to be used prospectively in any mapping services developed for VIA. Information that is intended to be searched and displayed about a place should be supplied in the "place" element under the placeName, production, or location elements.
