Class of material specific details area

File:TmplClassicRADClassSpecific1.png

Option 1: separate div displaying each field

File:TmplClassicRADClassSpecific2.png

Option 2: separate div showing only fields as needed

This div corresponds to RAD area 1.3. It is used only with certain special media: catrographic materials (5.3 Mathematical data area – 3 elements), architectural and technical drawings (6.3 Scale area – 1 element), and philatelic records (13.3 Issue data area – 2 elements). None of these elements have direct ISAD(G) or Qubit analogs. The main options are to implement as custom fields or assimilate to Qubit notes.

Option 1

• Map RAD elements to Qubit custom fields (storing field names and values in Qubit property records related to the information object).
• Include fields on the interface for each field.

Option 2

• Same as (1) except do not include each field on interface, only on an "as-needed" basis.
• Use a drop-down list controlled by a "Class of material specific details" taxonomy of RAD element names.

Option 3

• Map RAD elements to Qubit notes, using "Class of material specific details" taxonomy to control note types by RAD element names.
• Eliminate Class of material specific details area as separate div, since it is handled by Notes area.
• Or, retain as separate div displaying only this type of note.

RAD elements:

Statement of scale

• RAD: 5.3B (cartographic materials), 6.3B (architectural and technical drawings)
• ISAD(G): na
• Qubit: property::name="statement_of_scale" value=" " (option1/2); note::type="class_of_material_specific_detail" qualifier="statement_of_scale" content=" " (option3).
• Repeating? NO

Statement of projection

• RAD: 5.3C
• ISAD(G): na
• Qubit: property::name="statement_of_projection" value=" " (option1/2); note::type="class_of_material_specific_detail" qualifier="statement_of_projection" content=" " (option3).
• Repeating? NO

Statement of coordinates

• RAD: 5.3D
• ISAD(G): na
• Qubit: property::name="statement_of_coordinates" value=" " (option1/2); note::type="class_of_material_specific_detail" qualifier="statement_of_coordinates" content=" " (option3).
• Repeating? NO

Issuing jurisdiction / denomination

• RAD: 12.3B, 12.3C
• ISAD(G): na
• Qubit: property::name="issuing_jurisdiction_denomination" value=" " (option1/2); note::type="class_of_material_specific_detail" qualifier="issuing_jurisdiction_denomination" content=" " (option3).
• Repeating? YES
• Note: Combines two separate RAD elements because these often have a 1-to-many relationship, e.g. "Canada : 4 cents, 40 cents".
