Best Practices

1. Personal names should be listed surname or family name first, followed by forename or given name. When in doubt, give the name as it appears, and do not invert.
2. The «individualCataloger» element is intended to contain information identifying the individual who did the cataloging.
3. The «individualCataloger» element should not be used to record information about the cataloging agency.
