Description of the content class...

--->

The metadata elements clustered under KEYWORD SEARCHES are an aggregation of descriptors that identify people, places, things, activities, and time/date/year associations, using established picklists and authorities for recommended words, phrases, and values where possible. KEYWORD SEARCHES is intended to collect under a single "umbrella" summary field all the relevant, searchable field topics and names (similar to the way in which end users "Google" online resources). Keywords improve the "findability" of relevant media assets.

DESCRIPTION...

DEFINITION...

Based on a Functional Rule, use DESCRIPTION-ABSTRACT (FULL) if you are entering a well-formed content description that is a lengthy, multi-sentence, multi-paragraph, narrative, comment or interpretation, review, or individual program or media item description. The Full Description is a summary field that draws its content from three other metadata prompt fields:
1. Full Abstract
2. Table of Contents
3. Anecdotal Comments

COMMENTS...

A truncated version of the full narrative is entered into the metadata field DESCRIPTION-ABSTRACT (SHORT)/DESCRIPTION for use in the online asset management system's abbreviated presentation layout for a media item's metadata.

FUNCTIONAL RULE...

kw_description_full_summary
Data is drawn from 3 contributing fields.

kw_description_abstract_full
kw_description_tableofcontents
kw_descriptions_anecdotal

The Functional Rule should detect for the presence of data in each contributing field and punctuate accordingly.

PUNCTUATION:
Separate each "chunk" of narrative from the contributing fields by a double paragraph/line-feed between each. Trailing punctuation is not required.

EXAMPLE ENTRY:
Through archival footage, interviews with historians and writers, and moving written records of early settlers--both famous and obscure--this documentary program gives a full and engaging history of the Mormon pioneer migration to the Great Salt Lake Valley and the early years of establishing settlements throughout the West.

Professor Dean May reports that getting stuck in the Salt Flats was not a pleasant experience during the production of the program.
