RIMMF a Resource: Step-by-step
Search for Manifestation data, using the Entity Index
IF your
Manifestation search did not find a hit (possible match), or if you found a hit but the Manifestation data that you found
is not a match, and
is not a near match either, then
search for Work data, using the
Entity Index
IF your Work search found a hit (possible match) for the work characteristics of your resource, check that it is a true match
IF the Work data that you have found is not a true match:
-
Check the
R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
Done
IF the Work data that you have found is a true match:
Add any additional Work data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
Find linked Expression data, using the 'Expression of Work' links in the Work record
IF a linked Expression record is a true match:
Add any additional Expression data to that Expression record, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
-
-
Check the
R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
Done
IF all linked Expression records are not a true match:
Clone one of the Expression records
In the new Expression record, change/add Expression data, as needed
-
Link to a new Item record, and add Item data
Check the
R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
Done
IF your Manifestation search found a hit (possible match) for the manifestation characteristics of your resource, check that it is a true match
IF the Manifestation data that you have found is a true match:
Add any additional Manifestation data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
-
Check the
R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
Done
IF the Manifestation data that you have found is not a match, but is a near match:
Clone the near-match Manifestation record
Change/add Manifestation data, as needed
IF the clone Manifestation data can link to the same Expression data as the near-match record:
Add a link via the 'Expression Manifested' element, to the same Expression record as the near-match record
-
Add any additional Expression data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
-
Add any additional Work data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
-
-
Check the
R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
Done
IF the clone Manifestation data cannot link to the same Expression data as the near-match record:
Find the record for the Expression data that was linked to the near-match Manifestation record
Clone the Expression record
In the new Expression record, change/add Expression data, as needed
Add a link to the clone Manifestation, via 'Manifestation of Expression'
Add a link to the same Work as the clone Expression record, via the 'Work Expressed'
-
Add any additional Work data, if you have any, and if you think it might be useful
-

Check the
R-Tree to be sure you have picked up all possible relationships
