Proposed Mappings
Challenges
- Item- or manifestation-specific roles must be differentiated.
- Item-specific notes must be mapped to holdings locations + call numbers.
- Item-specific provenance or genre headings may be difficult to match.
- Manifestation-level physical descriptions may not apply to all items.
Thank You!
