page

Referent and container

Record whether the target is a leaf-side or its contained matter, together with the containing document and item links needed to resolve it.

1. Does this reference denote a particular physical side or the matter presented on that side? definition
2. Which containing document, edition and item are established, and which remain unidentified? provenance
3. What evidence associates the page with a particular leaf and side designation? boundary

Page location evidence

Preserve literal labels, supplied identifiers and sequence relationships without silently correcting omissions, duplicates or numbering errors.

1. What label appears on the page, and is any alternative label supplied by a cataloguer or capture system? provenance
2. Which pages precede and follow it in the observed item, and does a proposed reading sequence differ? boundary
3. What combination of container, section, label and position will locate this page unambiguously for citation? action

Extent and capture coverage

Record physical extent and observed coverage separately, including folds, obscured edges and any multi-page capture boundary.

1. What are the page dimensions, in which folded or unfolded state, and how were they measured? measurement
2. Does the observation show the complete side, a cropped region or a spread containing another page? boundary

Spatial content relationships

Identify meaningful regions and supported relationships among columns, headings, captions, notes and marginal matter.

1. Which regions contain main text, illustrations, captions, running matter, notes or marginal additions? definition
2. What evidence establishes reading order and caption or note attachment, and where are multiple interpretations possible? boundary

Content membership and additions

Relate page regions to containing content units and distinguish evidenced additions from matter shared with an edition.

1. Which document sections or content units occur here, and which continue across a page boundary? boundary
2. Which marks are supported as printed matter, handwritten additions, stamps or later interventions, and what supports that attribution? provenance
3. Is apparent blankness established by inspection or merely caused by an absent or inadequate representation? definition

Representation fidelity

Associate each image or transcription with its source page, covered regions and known transformations or unresolved readings.

1. Which page and regions does this representation derive from, and what evidence verifies that match? provenance
2. Were cropping, rotation, enhancement, OCR or editorial normalisation applied, and where is the result uncertain? provenance
3. Which passages or visual details require comparison with the source before quotation, extraction or reuse? action

Local loss and legibility

Record affected regions and the evidence for tears, missing portions, fading, stains, show-through, occlusion or capture defects.

1. Which regions are missing, obscured or difficult to read, and is the cause on the physical page or in its representation? measurement
2. Would another view or capture resolve the uncertainty, or is handling advice needed before further inspection? action

Operation-specific constraints

Record the authority and coverage of constraints on turning, flattening, capturing, transcribing, modifying or reproducing the page and its contained matter.

1. What documented instructions govern turning, unfolding, flattening or marking this particular page? action
2. Which permissions or restrictions apply to reproducing its text, images, annotations and supplied scan, and where is coverage unresolved? action
3. What source establishes each constraint, and does it apply to the whole page, a region, the containing item or a representation? provenance
