  • None.

Definition

An instance of this DRM class specifies the recommended bibliographic reference information to be used for the data set being described, such that the information is provided in an ISO 19115 compatible form. In the documentation for this class, the phrase “the data set” refers to “the data set being described by the given <DRM Citation> instance”. This, in turn, refers to the object tree rooted at the aggregate of the <DRM Citation> instance. If a <DRM Citation> is shared by multiple aggregate objects, then “the data set” refers to the collection of object trees rooted at its various aggregates.

Example(s)

  • Consider a SEDRIS transmittal produced from Vector Product Format (VPF) source data, where the source data is not part of a series, and where this is its first edition as a SEDRIS transmittal. In this case, the transmittal was produced by Sterling Logicon, via their VPF-SEDRIS conversion software.

    The citation information for the transmittal's <DRM Transmittal Root> is as follows.
    title “dtopn/t007us01”;
    edition “1.0”;
    originators “Sterling Logicon”;
    series_name “N/A”;
    issue_id “N/A”;
    other “Created using VPF-SEDRIS Converter”;
