The cataloguing nomenclature is based around generating a title field that embodies enough information for a user to identify any document through a string of characters. The title field, at the basic level, contains three key elements — a date code, a source code and the document title.

  • Date code = the form 2003-0901 which represents 1 September 2003, for example.
  • Source code = a code or codes in brackets, e.g, {OPCW}. When an entity has a document reference system, this will be reflected in the title field between the source code and the document title. As many IT systems cannot handle “/” characters in many contexts, these are replaced by “-” in the title field such that document S/2425/2025 is rendered as S-2425-2025 in the catalogue, for example.
  • Document title = fairly self explanatory but may be abbreviated for space.
