The descriptor annotation is a stand-alone PBCore element where you can catalog any supplementary information about a media item or the metadata used to describe it. annotation clarifies element values, terms, descriptors, and vocabularies that may not be otherwise sufficiently understood.
ELEMENT INTERDEPENDENCIES
This element is hierarchically bound to the sub-container pbcoreAnnotation
The descriptor annotation is envisioned as a Post-it®
Note containing comments or narrative that further explains or documents the descriptions
of a media item. If the pre-defined
elements and sub-elements in PBCore require further explanation, use annotation to present
this information.
Additionally, annotation may be useful in cases where
an established controlled vocabulary does not adequately represent
certain qualities of an asset and you wish to embellish your description.
