Guidelines
Any alternative name, sub-title, or any form of the title, that is commonly used as a substitute for the main title.
Preserve the original wording, order and spelling. Do not introduce additional spaces, for instance CrossFire not Cross Fire. Personal names may be entered as: Surname/family name, Forename; or Forename Surname/family name.
Explain title abbreviations in full using Alternative Title. For example: ONS Time Series Data (Title); Office for National Statistics Time Series Data (Alternative Title). For collections with a non-English title, enter the native language title as the Title; include the language of the title using a language attribute. Enter the translation or transliteration as an Alternative Title. Please transliterate titles written in non-Roman scripts (for example, Greek, Russian, Hebrew) into ASCII characters using a recognisable transliteration scheme (for example, Beta encoding for Greek).
Enter the information as a single line of unstructured text. Do not use (X)HTML tags. Formatting tags, such as italics, must not be included. Enclose normally italicised words within single quotes. Some non-keyboard characters may be included as SGML character entities; no others are available.
