Class of material specific details area

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, 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.

RAD elements:

Statement of scale

This implementation creates new fields for each of these elements (via Qubit property record). There is no need to return the values in a single statement and each description can have as many related Qubit property records as required.
