Metadata #23

see attached. Additional notes: metadata The only field that will always be filled out and present is the Language field.

If for any field no information is provided in the spreadsheet, then the field should not be included. This will save us form taking up lots of space with no information. (Rationale: We have data pieces where we only have Language and Published in, and we don’t know any of the other information). For example:

Language: Koyukon Published in: Jetté & Jones (2000:201)

(with bolding as in the attachment, of course)

About dates: We’ll enter them into the spreadsheet in the format you suggested (year-mo-da), but in the database, we’ll need them in the format indicated above. Canada and the US differ in their usage, and to make this accessible, it’s easiest to write out the month and use four-digit years. That’s just the clearest way to do it. If you prefer, we’ll put it into the spreadsheet like that, then you don’t have to convert it.

Great. And tell us where you want the utterance ID in the metadata file!
