The following metadata are generic. This means that they appear in the application forms of all TextGrid Objects:

  1. Object’s title
  2. identifiers
  3. format of Object
  4. notes

The mandatory "Title" element should be used for the title and subtitles of the Object. Remove a title or add an additional title by clicking on the appropriate buttons.

Add some kind of identifier for the Object in some controlled vocabulary and choose between ISBN, ISSN, URL or Kalliope (= RNA) in the drop down menu. ISBN, ISSN, URL and Kalliope are common default values but other types can be added if wished. Further "Identifier" elements can be added or removed by clicking the corresponding buttons.

Use the "Format" element to fill in the required information about the MIME type (= Internet Media Type ). In these main cases, a default value will be proposed:
