Describe this Element


Name

Title.Series

Definition

The name used in TITLE.SERIES refers to a group of separate works (each with their own proper titles) that are related to one another. Together, the works bear a series title that applies to the group as a whole. The individual works may or may not be numbered.

Encoding Schemes
 

Use natural language to enter data.


Guidelines for Usage

PBCore recommends that Titles be expressed in "Natural Language" or "Human Readable/Understandable Form." Given today's sophisticated search engines and search techniques, there is less concern about expressing Titles in strict, non-intuitive syntaxes prescribed by rule-based authorities. Titles typically are not searched as part of complex semantic interpretations, but instead employ simple matches to keywords and text strings.

Consequently, PBCore encourages producers, stations, and catalogers to assign accurate, consistent Titles to items, using more of a natural language grammar. It is acceptable to:

  • Use leading articles (A, An, The)
  • Use upper and lower case
  • Use punctuation

Titles are typically "proper" or "given" titles supplied by the resource's creator. However, in situations where no proper title is available, e.g., photographs or segments harvested from a longer work or program, a "supplied title" may be generated. A "supplied title" must be distinctive, authoritative, descriptive and assist searching databases and catalogs, leading to successful discovery and retrieval of items.
