Guidelines

Values for this property are defined by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Thesaurus. The UNESCO Thesaurus is a controlled vocabulary developed by UNESCO.

Spatial Indexing Policy

Use as many terms as required to fully describe the collection. There is no limit on the number of related terms used which are under the same broader term. For example, for a collection that covers the following countries in Europe (country terms used are from HASSET):

Belgium
France
Republic of Ireland
Portugal
Spain
United Kingdom

All these terms in HASSET are related, and the broader term is Western Europe. All the individual country terms may be used to describe the spatial coverage of the collection. The broader term may also be used if it is considered relevant.
