V DESCRIPTION...
* DEFINITION...
SIMILAR MEDIA ITEMS identifies media items of similar intellectual content to the asset management record currently being browsed. Specifically, SIMILAR MEDIA ITEMS refers to other media types or items that do not exhibit parental, sibling, or child relationships to the main media item being viewed. For example, an image of an art work may be related to a completely independent manuscript about the artist (if the catalogers deem the relationship to be overwhelmingly informative).
* COMMENTS...
Think of SIMILAR MEDIA ITEMS as additional title recommendations that Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.com offer when you select a particular book or title to investigate.

Because this is a "Telescope container field," only digital assets internal to the DAM system can be referenced here. Physical assets cannot be included, except for their metadata records.

NOTE: The umap_title_contextual metadata field (based on a functional rule that harvests its contents from other contextual title fields) may contains similar references. However, the contextual title field only names the related assets; it does not provide any sort of hyper-linking that allows previewing or review of metadata information.

* GUIDELINES...
If a media item is simply a different file format of exactly the same content as another media item, then, according to Telescope protocols, the assets are considered "renditions" of the same metadata record. For example, a transcript in PDF form is another rendition of a video clip. For this example, the PDF rendition would NOT be entereed as SIMILAR MEDIA ITEMS.
