M53 THIRD LEVEL DESCRIPTOR

XML Element Name

naa:ThirdLevelDescriptor

Definition

A narrower activity descriptor that captures the actions or specific topics documented by the record.

Purpose

This element provides specific information about the transaction documented by the content of the record and enables discovery of records which relate to specific government function/activity combinations, and which also document individual actions or transactions (it is useful as a further point of discovery because many users find it more natural to search for records by topic than by function or activity). It helps document accountability for individual actions or transactions undertaken within particular functions/activities.

(Optional) A reference to the scheme that controls the values of this element. Would normally only be present if there is a published scheme that can be referred to by a viewer.

Comments

This element should not be used on its own. This descriptor is meant to enhance the functional description of the record, not to stand on its own as a series of subject keywords.
