3.18 Location

The Location (M83) element contains the current physical location of a record. The NAA recordkeeping metadata applies to paper records as well as electronic records, and the notion of a physical location is less relevant to an electronic record than to a paper record. For this reason we do not recommend the use of these elements for electronic records in a VERS system.

Figure 16. Subelements of the Location element.

The subelements of Location are:

• Current Location (M84). This is the current physical location of the record.
• Home Location Details (M85). The name and address of a role or organisation that normally holds the record.
• Home Storage Details (M86). The physical location where the record is normally stored.
• RKS ID (M87). The identity of the recordkeeping system that normally holds the record.

An example of a Location element follows:

<naa:Location>
   <naa:CurrentLocation>CD11239/03</naa:CurrentLocation>
   <naa:HomeLocationDetails>PROV</naa:HomeLocationDetails>
   <naa:HomeStorageDetails>Shelf A/3/5/3</naa:HomeStorageDetails>
</naa:Location>
