12	The Curationist Metadata Schema is a custom schema assembled from three different, publicly available metadata schema: VRA Core 4.0, Dublin Core, and Schema.org. There are also a small number of “local” elements that are specific to Curationist and do not map to other schema.
13	This document contains 3 schema encompassing elements for 5 record types: Work, Feature, Collection, Hub, Series.
14	Each schema is organized according to the following structure:
15		Curationist Concept:	The original data point or concept from the Curationist beta site or discovery phase.
16		Element:	The name of the data element, sourced from a source schema, or given a "local" name. Depending on the implementation, elements may or may not map to field names in a database.
17		XML subelement:	Subunits of element data that provide additional information about the element.
18		XML attribute:	Additional qualifiers that describe the element or subelement data
19		Field Type:	Suggested data entry requirements for elements, subelements, and attributes. Most of the main elements are "free text" to allow for import of Source data that may not conform to Wikidata or Curationist vocabularies.
20		Repeatable:	Indicates whether an element, subelement, or attribute can be repeated, i.e., whether there can be more than one instance in a record.
21		Definition:	A definition of the type of data contained in the element, subelement, or attribute.
22		Source Schema:	The name of the schema from which the element, subelement, or attribute derives.
23		URL:	A link to information about that element, subelement, or attribute in the source schema.
24		Required:	Indicates whether the element, subelement, or attribute is required for new record creation, whether through API import or manual creation.
25		Notes:	Miscellaneous notes.
26	For additional information and detailed instructions for populating this schema, please see the Curationist Metadata Content Standard and the Curationist Taxonomy Guidelines.
