3.6.7. Key Points

Here are some key points to remember:

  • To assist your users in the correct application of the terminological data in your collection, it is advisable to include advice about any usage particularities associated with the terms entered on the terminology record. This information is generally conveyed by means of usage labels. (observations or notes could serve the same purpose.)
  • Terminology records generally include organizational (e.g. subject field) and other administrative-type information in addition to the terminological data, such as source references, originator and updater names, and creation and update dates.
