  • Chronological: e.g. 92.17 (Biography: 1600-1699)
  • Profession: e.g. 27.92 (Christianity: people)
• Main form:
  • create a main form following the rules
  • Add English and French versions when relevant/possible ('Verwoording E' and 'Verwoording F')
• Reference term:
  • create the reference term you need following the transcription rules
  • enter 'STCV' for lidmaatschap [membership]
• Biographical scope note: if you have found information, add it here
  • 'Begindatum' [year of birth] and 'Einddatum' [year of death]
  • 'Beginplaats' [place of birth] and 'Eindplaats' [place of death]
