Remember:

• when entering 'supplied' data, put each element inside its own set of square brackets

• Check the 'Source' instruction to be sure that you are looking at the correct source(s) of information on the resource
• If data on the resource and data as the element in the record are:
  • PoR/PaE–check the Data Entry instructions:
    • data for this element must be Form transcribed, but 1.7, order, and optional omissions: make sure the data matches word-for-word and letter-for-letter (except for order, optional omissions, or exceptions), e.g., fix common exceptions and decide whether to fix order and/or add omitted data
  • PoR/AaE–check the Core instructions:
    • data for this element is CoreIf:
      
      • it is ok if the element is missing as long as the related element is present
        
      • but if the related, core element is also missing, and cannot be added, then add this element
        
      • also consider adding this element if it helps to explain 'supplied' data in the related, core element
  • AoR/PaE–check the Source instructions again:
    • since the Source for this element is or includes '[OSoI]', accept the data if it is 'supplied' (e.g., in square brackets, or explained in a note), as long as it seems applicable; indicate that the data is 'supplied' (with square brackets or a note 2.2.4), if that has not been done
  • AoR/AaE–go to the next element:
    • but be sure to check the resource carefully, if the data for the element is Core, or if the data is important for differentiating the resource from a similar resource
• Check below, for any useful Notes
