<dsc> Description of Subordinate Components

<dsc> is a wrapper element used to bundle information about hierarchical groupings of the described materials. The @dsctype attribute is used to specify the forms of combined material, as outlined in Attributes below.

<dsc> may be used within <archdesc>.

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.”
  • @dsctype – not required. Restricted values for this attribute are: “analyticover,” “combined,” “in-depth,” and “otherdsctype.” The value “analyticover” identifies an overview description of series and subseries, which might be followed by a second <dsc> with the attribute set to “in-depth” and providing a more detailed listing of the content of the materials. The @dsctype attribute value “combined” is used when the description of a series is followed immediately by a listing of the contents of that series. If none of these apply, us the value “otherdsctype” and use the @otherdsctype attribute above to specify it.
  • @encodinganalog – not required. May contain information to map this tag to a particular element in another schema.
  • @id – not required. Creates an ID for element. Can be used for linking.
  • @lang – not required. Three-letter code that indicates the language in which the element’s contents were written. It should come from ISO 639-2b.
  • @otherdsctype – not required. If “otherdsctype” is used in the @dsctype attribute, set its value here.
  • @script – not required. Four-letter code that indicates the script in which the element’s contents were written. It should come from ISO 15924.

Child Elements

<dsc> may contain the following subelements: <blockquote>, <c>, <c01> (but not further levels), <chronlist>, <head>, <list>, <p>, and <table>, <thead>.

In order of use:

  • Everything else
  • <thead>
  • <c>-type elements

        <p>The Marshall Family Grant was established by Elias and Padmini Marshall to fund international collaborations on quilting and quilting-adjacent technologies. Students in the third or fourth year of their PhD program may apply to collaborate with an international partner. Funds from this two-year grant may be used for the student and their partner to visit each other's countries, to attend one meeting of the International Quilting Technologists Association, to buy supplies used in completing grant outcomes, and to present on grant outcomes.</p>
