 In the CERL Thesaurus there are descriptions for four different types of entities: Places (primarily places of printing, but also places of manuscript writing or places where persons were active or corporate bodies were located), Imprint names (all names that might appear in an imprint of a book and that do not denote any type of intellecutal responsibility for the content of it, i.e. primarily printers, but also publishers, booksellers, illustrators etc), corporate entities and persons (both can either have had the intellectual responsibility for a book's content or have been owners of books). In the CERL Thesaurus there are descriptions for four different types of entities: Places (primarily places of printing, but also places of manuscript writing or places where persons were active or corporate bodies were located), Imprint names (all names that might appear in an imprint of a book and that do not denote any type of intellecutal responsibility for the content of it, i.e. primarily printers, but also publishers, booksellers, illustrators etc), corporate entities and persons (both can either have had the intellectual responsibility for a book's content or have been owners of books).
  
 +The information which type of entity a record is about is hidden in the record ID's prefix. If you use the form-based editor to create a new record, you should select the type of entity from the drop-down labelled "Type of Entity" (2nd from the top) - if you edit an existing record this drop-down has no effect at all (i.e. you cannot change the entity type by just setting it to a new value).

Line 161: Line 162:
 The CERL Thesaurus records the preferred name forms of an entity as they are used in CERL Member libraries. Heading forms differ according to the language used for cataloguing and the cataloguing rules applied. The CERL Thesaurus does not declare one of these name forms as authoritative, but lists them alphabetically indicating the institutions that use that particular form. Thus, there is no "CERL form" for a heading. The name form given as a headline in a record's full display is the first heading recorded within that record, its prominent position does not imply any indication of preference for that form. The CERL Thesaurus records the preferred name forms of an entity as they are used in CERL Member libraries.

 +Variant name forms do now have an additional code, indicating the type of the name form (**$0** in **4xx** fields). This code is mandatory. If in doubt, use ''varn'' as a default.

 Fields may contain subfields. In these cases subfields are contained in a separate sub-form, which by default is also folded, so you can only see the fields title. You will recognise these folded subforms by a little black downward pointing error on the left side. Click on the field's title to open the subform. A subform has an elegant grey background to make what belongs together more visible. Fields may contain subfields.

-A big blue plus-sign on the right of a field means that this field is repeatable and that you can add another field of this kind by clicking on it. Please note that in order to add an additional complex sub-form, you have to open the last sub-form to find the blue plus-button. When adding additonal fields, the order of fields is kept as it is in the form. So, if you want to add a new "possible duplicate" field at the end of the list, click the plus-botton next to the last "possible duplicate" field - if you want to add one, say, after the first field, click the plus-button next to the first "possible duplicate" field.+A big blue plus-sign on the right of a field means that this field is repeatable and that you can add another field of this kind by clicking on it.
