V DESCRIPTION...
* DEFINITION...
The metadata elements clustered under KEYWORDS 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. KEYWORDS are 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).
* COMMENTS...
Based on a Functional Rule.

* GUIDELINES...
The keywords published to end users are harvested from a series of individual metadata prompts that only catalogers may access. These metadata prompts are very granular in nature and are designed to help indexers articulate (and remember) all the important keywords that should be associated with a media item. The individual bits of data are then concatenated into a single "keyword summary" field, using North Plains "functional rules" capability, imposing a well-defined syntax structure.

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

PUNCTUATION:
Separate each keyword entry present in a contributing field by a semi-colon and a space, except for the last keyword entry which should have no trailing punctuation at all.

EXAMPLE ENTRY:
Mormon pioneers; Scouts; Apostles; Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leaders; Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leadership; This is the Place Monument; This is the Place State Park, Salt Lake City; Salt Lake County; Utah
