<daodesc> encodes information about the contents, usage, or source of <dao> or <daogrp>. The <unittitle> or other descriptive information within <c> may be sufficient in place of <daodesc>. Elements which <daodesc> may occur within are: <dao>, <daogrp>, <daoloc>.
Attributes
- ALTRENDER – not required. Use if the content of the element should be displayed or printed differently than the rendering established in a style sheet for other occurrences of the element.
- AUDIENCE – not required. Use to set whether the element’s contents will be visible to external users or to internal ones. Possible values are: “internal” and “external.”
- ID – not required. Creates an ID for element. Can be used for linking.
Subelements
<daodesc> may contain: <address>, <blockquote>, <chronlist>, <head>, <list>, <note>, <p>, and <table>.
Examples
As with <dao>, an excellent example of <daodesc> in use comes from the LoC website. In this case, the <daodesc> is describing an element within a <daogrp>:
<c level="file"> <did> <unittitle>Photographs of John Smith and family members</unittitle> <unitdate type="inclusive" normal="1895/1928">1895-1928</unitdate> <daogrp linktype="extended"> <daodesc> <p>Sample digitized image from this file: John Smith graduation portrait, <date normal="18950528">28 May 1895</date>.</p> </daodesc> <resource linktype="resource" label="start"/> <daoloc entityref="f0042_1tmb" linktype="locator" label="thumb"/> <daoloc entityref="f0042_1ref" linktype="locator" label="reference"/> <arc linktype="arc" show="embed" actuate="onload" from="start" to="thumb"/> <arc linktype="arc" show="new" actuate="onrequest" from="thumb" to="reference"/> </daogrp> </did> </c> |
