6.3 MORE ABOUT LINKING RECORDS The diagram also shows how the Act records provide the links between the victims and an event. Therefore each Act record must include both the unique Event Title (field 2103) and the unique Victim Name (field 2102). In this case Desacula et al. Arrest will be entered in field 2103 in all the Act records, while records 1 - 3 will have Desacula, Edgar and record 4 will have Aguilar,Ramon entered in field 2102. Similarly, the following diagram illustrates the use of the Chain of Events Format in linking Event records together: Event Record Number: 001 Event Title: Labour Crackdown of May 1998 Chain of Events Record Number: 001 Type of Chain of Events: Event which encompasses a number of smaller events Event Title: Labour Crackdown of May 1998 Related Event Title: ABC Raid Chain of Events Record Number: 002 Type of Chain of Events: Event which encompasses a number of smaller events Event Title: Labour Crackdown of May 1998 Related Event Title: DEF Secretary-General Arrest Chain of Events Record Number: 003 Type of Chain of Events: Event which encompasses a number of smaller events Event Title: Labour Crackdown of May 1998 Related Event Title: XYZ Raid Event Record Number: 002 Event Title: ABC Raid Event Record Number: 003 Event Title: DEF SecretaryGeneral Arrest Event Record Number: 004 Event Title: XYZ Raid Figure 6.2 Chain of Events records Attaching Formats for Additional Information As explained earlier, the Biographic Details Format can either be a link format or an attachment format. For updates regarding just one Person, e.g., to illustrate the various positions that an alleged perpetrator has occupied in different sections of the armed forces, a Biographic Details Format may be completed and attached to the record of the Person in question. Another attachment format is the Additional Details Format. It is used for recording additional information about certain kinds of acts. There is a format for recording additional details regarding arrest and detention for instance. Once completed, the Additional Details record can be attached to the relevant Act record. 6.4 RELATIONSHIPS OF THE VARIOUS FORMATS: A SUMMARY The diagram below, Figure 6.3 Relationships among the formats, shows how the various elements of an event relate to each other. It can be easily seen that the basic elements are the Event and Person entities and that the rest are either links or attachments to these entities. 55
