Taxonomy

This field is completed automatically according to the name of the taxonomy to which the term belongs.


Name

Enter the name of the term as you would like to see it appear in value lists in edit page and as labels in view page.


Use for

You can create one or more non-preferred terms using this field. When users attempt to add the non-preferred term to a record the preferred term will be added instead. Similarly, if users search on the non-preferred term, ICA-AtoM will automatically substitute the preferred term.


Code

Enter any alphanumeric codes that are used to identify the term based on institutional practices or other standards.


Scope note(s)

Enter descriptive information about the term.

Source note(s)

Enter the source of the term if applicable.

Display note(s)

Enter an alternate label for the term if applicable.

In the current version of ICA-AtoM, this field applies only to the events taxonomy. For example, for the term "distribution" the display note is "distributor".
