Input Conventions
This field is repeatable to show standard forms used by different institutions. As there is no preferred form in a CERL Thesaurus record, no standard form has precedence over the other standard forms; they are sorted alphabetically.
Although, it is technical possible to enter standard forms without an indication of the institution responsible for that form, this is not encouraged.
