OPCW institutional documents

These references on this page are for documents generated by the OPCW institutionally and are taken from the cataloguing system for the Sussex Harvard Information Bank (SHIB) and connected resources. For contributions to meetings, etc, see https://shib-temp.cbw-events.org.uk/opcw-input/ [NOTE: this linked page will not be public until coding is finished].

A brief note on cataloguing nomenclature is provided below the list of documents. A fuller guide to the structure is in preparation. Registered users will be able to search the catalogue in more detail once the database is further developed.

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.
