Reporting a bug

Text: The error is located in the description of <recordid> where it states that <agencycode> is a required element of <maintenanceagency>. However, when I look under <maintenanceagency> the website states that <agencycode> is NOT a required element. Is there a way we can get this corrected?

Suggested Solution

Text: Change the word "required" to "recommended" with regard to the mention of <agencycode> under <recordid>. I.e. the text should say "A globally unique identifier may be constructed within <recordid> according various external protocols (i.e. HTTP URI, DOI, PURL, or UUID), or in combination with <agencycode>, which is a recommended child element of <maintenanceagency>."
