OK with me as long as it doesn't take too long to complete.
I think the list given is a good start, and apart from the few
I have suggested, is fairly comprehensive. We won't be using all, but
will be using:
Advertisement
Article
Bibliography
Book
Booklet
Dataset
Fact Sheet
Image
In Book
In Collection
In Proceedings
Magazine
Manual
Media Release
Misc,
Message On Moderated Mailing List
Message On Unmoderated Mailing List
Organisation Info
Personal Info
Preprint
Proceedings
Project Info
Research Paper
Service
TechReport
Unpublished
UnrefereedArticle
Video
One or two others may come to mind as we proceed with indexing - for
example documents created on the fly, including GIS coverages, etc.
At the moment these would come under "Image", but I am not sure
that we won't want to expand this.
