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

PROPOSED NEW TEXT:
This field is under development. Currently, it allows administrators and editors to add a static Google Map] to a Place term description. The field behaves similarly to the search bar on a Google Map, and will generate a static map image based on the term entered using Google's Static Map API. Terms entered can include addresses, latitude/longitude coordinates, and place names (such as cities, neighborhoods, etc.). Unlike Google Maps, a pin will not be added to the map to mark the selected location, and currently the user cannot specify the scale of the map generated. At the moment, the map is only viewable through the taxonomy "view term" screen available to administrators and editors.
OLD TEXT (about to be removed):
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".
