-.3 Sources
+==== 3.3 Sources ====
+The CERL Thesaurus records three types of sources for the information given in a record: reference works, editions printed/written by the described entity and books owned by the described person or corporate body.
+There is no prescribed syntax or a controlled list of abbreviations for reference works in the "Found In" field.
+The CERL Thesaurus is neither a bibliographic nor a provenance database, so editions and copies should be recorded only as sources of evidence. Complete lists of works printed, written or owned by an entity should be provided elsewhere (e.g. HPB, HPB-Item, MEI etc) and a link should be made from the Thesaurus record instead.
+For a detailed description of the available fields and the input convention applying see:
+  * [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:290]]
+  * [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:291]]
+  * [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:292]]
+Sources that apply to a specific piece of information only (such as bibliographic data or an individual variant name form) should be recorded in that particular field.
 .4 Notes and Biographical Data
-.5 Related Places
+==== 3.5 Related Places ====
+Records for persons, printers and corporate entities can be linked to places where they have lived or have been active in any way. The type of relationship between such an entity and a place can be specified as well, which facilitates more sophisticated search queries (for example for persons that went to school in a given place).
+There can also be a relationship between two places. Currently it is possible to describe a place as being a part of another, larger place, for example a village that is nowadays part of a larger city.
+There are a number of place name records that do not describe an individual place but a place name that is the name for a number of places. These records are marked as being "used for more than one entity" (code 3 in field 110$a) and can link out to the records for the individual places by that name. This relationship is typed as "see instead".
+If there is no further specification of how a place is related to the entity described in the record, 'act' (place of activity) is used for persons, corporate bodies and printers and 'relp' (related place) is used for places.
