Remarks

To facilitate efficient data interchange, basic information about the circumstances surrounding the creation of bibliographic resources should be recorded within the <creation> element, while the record of ownership and custody should be captured within the history element.

Constraints

The elements acquisition, provenance, exhibHist, treatHist and treatSched are not permitted at the work or expression level and are only permitted at the manifestation level, if the manifestation is a manifestation singleton.
