About Resource Annotations
Resource Annotations are meant to serve as method to provide additional metadata identifiers for a resource, beyond the standard set of fields associated with a resource. For example, a user may want to add the Library of Congress Control Number to a particular document,  or perhaps a URL that points to the most recent copy of an original document -- tDAR does not provide these fields.  In this example, a user could add resource annotations to include this metadata.Â
Components of a Resource Annotation
- Key: the name of the field (e.g. Â "URL")
- Value: the actual value, (e.g. "http://tdar.org")
- Type: the data type of annotation value; either "text", "numeric", or "formatted string"
- Format: For annotations of type "formatted string". Â This would be describe the format that the value must conform to. Â For example, Â the format for a phone number could be "(XXX)XXX-XXXX".Â
