RIMMF a Resource: Step-by-step
Search for Manifestation data, using the Entity Index
- IF your Manifestation search did not find a hit (possible match), or if you found a hit but the Manifestation data that you found is not a match, and is not a near match either, then search for Work data, using the Entity Index
- IF your Work search found a hit (possible match) for the work characteristics of your resource, check that it is a true match
- IF the Work data that you have found is not a true match:
-
- Add Manifestation data, as needed
- Create a new Work record
- Add Work data, as needed
- Link to a new Expression record
- Add Expression data as needed
- Go back to the automatically linked Manifestation record
- Link to a new Item record
- Add Item data, as needed
- Check the R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
- Done
-
- IF the Work data that you have found is a true match:
- Add any additional Work data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
- Find linked Expression data, using the 'Expression of Work' links in the Work record
- IF a linked Expression record is a true match:
- Add any additional Expression data to that Expression record, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
- Link to a new Manifestation record, via the 'Manifestation of Expression' element, and add Manifestation data
- Link to a new Item record, and add Item data
- Check the R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
- Done
- IF all linked Expression records are not a true match:
- Clone one of the Expression records
- In the new Expression record, change/add Expression data, as needed
- Link to a new Manifestation record, via the 'Manifestation of Expression' element, and add Manifestation data
- Link to a new Item record, and add Item data
- Check the R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
- Done
- IF your Manifestation search found a hit (possible match) for the manifestation characteristics of your resource, check that it is a true match
- IF the Manifestation data that you have found is a true match:
- Add any additional Manifestation data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
- Link to a new Item record, and add Item data
- Check the R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
- Done
- IF the Manifestation data that you have found is not a match, but is a near match:
- Clone the near-match Manifestation record
- Change/add Manifestation data, as needed
- IF the clone Manifestation data can link to the same Expression data as the near-match record:
- Add a link via the 'Expression Manifested' element, to the same Expression record as the near-match record
- Go to the linked record for the Expression, via the 'Expression Manifested' element
- Add any additional Expression data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
- Go to the linked record for the Work, via the 'Work Expressed' element
- Add any additional Work data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
- Go to the linked record for the Manifestation
- Link to a new Item record, and add Item data
- Check the R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
- Done
- IF the clone Manifestation data cannot link to the same Expression data as the near-match record:
- Find the record for the Expression data that was linked to the near-match Manifestation record
- Clone the Expression record
- In the new Expression record, change/add Expression data, as needed
- Add a link to the clone Manifestation, via 'Manifestation of Expression'
- Add a link to the same Work as the clone Expression record, via the 'Work Expressed'
- Go to the linked Work record, via the 'Work Expressed' element
- Add any additional Work data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
-
- Link to a new Item record, and add Item data
- Check the R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
- Done
