Curator can be configured where hierarchical metadata organises information into a nested structures, where each level provides more specific details. Using location as an example, hierarchical metadata might look like this:
Hierarchical Metadata Example: Location
Continent
Country
State/Province
City
Neighborhood
Street
Building
Here's how this might be structured with actual data:
Continent: North America
Country: United States
State/Province: California
City: San Francisco
Neighborhood: Mission District
Street: Valencia Street
Building: 123 Valencia Street
An example of what this could look like in Logger is shown below:
When logging, this can save time by ensuring that metadata options only display the relevant information in relation to the previous selection.
Example: When California is selected, Curator will only show relevant options for Cities within California.
