Ah, thanks Tanja, though obviously questions follow…
Why is this no longer supported or maintained?
Does that mean we are not supposed to use it?
What should we use instead?

Hi Crispin,
I'm afraid the Resource Description Thesaurus is no longer supported or maintained which is why it is not on the FISH Weebly website,
but it is still available here:
Kind regards,

Subject: Controlled terminology for Archive/Source Format?
Hi all
MIDAS Heritage says…
Archive/Source Format
Definition
Information resources described according to their physical properties.
Guidance
Indexing of format is particularly relevant to storage, conservation and management of
resources. Intended to answer questions such as ‘How should I store this resource?’
Controlled entry
Yes, see INSCRIPTION.
Can anyone point me this controlled terminology please?
I’ve hunted in likely places, including:
http://fishforum.weebly.com/fish-terminology.html
http://fishforum.weebly.com/download-fish-terminology.html
http://www.fish-forum.info/i_lists.htm
without success.
thanks
Crispin
