Description

Class
  • <DRM Citation>

Superclass

Subclass
  • 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> instance is shared by multiple aggregate objects, “the data set” refers to the collection of object trees rooted at its various aggregates.

The title field specifies the name by which the data object is known.

If provided, the edition field specifies the version of the data object.

The series_name field specifies the name of the series, or aggregate data set, of which the given data set is a part.

The issue_identification field identifies the issue of the series.

The other_citation_details field supplies any other information required to complete the citation that is not recorded elsewhere.

Clarifications

1 This specifies the date (mandatory) and time (optional) that the data set being described was released.

2 This identifies the party responsible for the data set.

Constraints

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”;
    series_name “N/A”;
    issue_identification “N/A”;
    other_citation_details “Created using VPF-SEDRIS Converter”;

    The <DRM Absolute Time> instance’s fields are set to the following.
