8. SCOPE NOTES
101 Event Record Number
Definition:
An accession number that identifies this and only this record.
Guidelines:
Although record numbers have local significance only, they should be included in exchanges
for identification purposes. If additional record numbers are needed for alternative numbering
systems, field 167 Files may be used. This field is not repeatable and does not allow for
clarifying notes.
Entry:
The unique number of this Event record.
Examples:
000047 (This is the 47th Event record.)
102 Event Title
Definition:
A title that clearly identifies the event.
Guidelines:
The title should easily remind users of the event. It may identify the event internally within the
organisation, it may be broadly used in the community or it may be the name of an internal or
external project. The title must be unique to one and only one event. This field is not
repeatable and does not allow for clarifying notes.
Entry:
To be determined by local organisations. Limited free text.
Examples:
1. For violations against groups, the place could be the key word, e.g., Tiananmen Massacre
or Fenestra Bombing.
2. If there is a single victim, the name and the gravest case could be the title, e.g., Romano
Disappearance.
3. For a group, the most prominent member could be used, e.g. John Doe et al. Arrest.
108 Confidentiality
Definition:
An indication of the confidentiality of this Event record.
Guidelines:
In general, confidential information should not be communicated. Decisions concerning the
communication of confidential or sensitive information rest with the sending organisation.
