has authorized access point of manifestation
Element reference
Additional information
An authorized access point is selected as the primary access point of the manifestation from all of the possible access points of the manifestation.
Element values
Record a value that is:
- a string that is an authorized access point that appears in an authority file
- a string that is constructed with a string encoding scheme
- an IRI for the authorized access point that appears in an authority file
Record a value that is selected from one or more values of the element super-type. Use the following order of preference:
- The access point that is unique to the manifestation.
- An access point that is qualified with the most information that is available.
String encoding schemes
A string encoding scheme should construct the base access point from a value of has title proper element. The scheme should omit leading articles and punctuation so that the base appears in a browse index in order of the first significant word.
If no value of a has title proper element is available, a string encoding scheme should construct the base access point from a title that is assigned by a cataloguing agency.
If no value of a has title proper element is available, and if there is only one item that exemplifies the manifestation, a string encoding scheme should construct the base access point from a title that is assigned to the item by an owner.
A string encoding scheme should use values of the following elements as qualifiers of a base access point:
- has binding element
- has category of carrier element
- has date of creation of manifestation element or element sub-type or has date of copyright of manifestation element
- has publisher agent element or element sub-type
A string encoding scheme should use values of any elements as qualifiers, if it is considered to be useful for users of the metadata.
For a manifestation that embodies an expression of an issue or iteration of a diachronic work, a string encoding scheme should construct the base access point from a compound title that consists of a common title and a designation and title of the sub-unit or iteration, and use a value of a has category of carrier element as a qualifier.
Stipulations
If one or more authorized access points are assigned to the manifestation, record at least one occurrence of the element.
Use the element super-type to record a less specific relationship.
Apply the stipulations for the element super-type unless indicated otherwise.
For a manifestation that embodies an expression of an issue or iteration of a diachronic work, record a value that includes a common title, a designation and title of the sub-unit or iteration, and a category of carrier.
