Origin - Value Domain
The following information is applicable to value domains only.
Definition
Any document(s) (including web-sites), organisations or committees from which any content of the metadata item originates.
Obligation
Any value domains that are based on content of another document must complete origin.
Development rules
List the full reference for all in-text references cited in the body of that metadata item.
Conclude and separate each reference with a new line (without a full-stop).
List the full name of any classification scheme which is partially implemented by the value domain (i.e. when a value domain does not implement all codes listed in a chapter of a classification, or all codes with the classification).
References should comply with the following referencing guidelines:
In-text references
In-text citations should follow one of the following formats:
- [Left bracket+] Author [+space +] year of publication [+right bracket + page number(s) if applicable]
- Author [+space + left bracket +] year of publication [+right bracket+ page number(s) if applicable]
When citing a classification scheme or other document which is better known by a short title, use the short title for the in-text citation e.g. ICD-10-AM 3rd edition.
The short, formal title of a piece of legislation should be cited exactly, in full, and in italics, followed by the jurisdiction (abbreviated and enclosed in parentheses) e.g. Health Insurance Act 1973 (Cwlth).
Reference list
If more than one publication is cited that was published in a given year and written by the same author, append the date with a lower case letter to the date in the in-text reference e.g. ‘(Rose 1984a)’ and in the full reference e.g. ‘Rose G 1984a…’.
If a reference has two authors, join the names with an ampersand (&) in the in-text reference e.g. ‘(Rose & Smith 1984)’ and in the full reference e.g. ‘Rose G & Smith A 1984…’.
Append the first author with the term ‘et al.’ in an in-text reference which has three or more authors e.g. ‘(Rose et al. 1984)’ or ‘Rose et al. (1984).’ In the full reference, append the first author with the term ‘et al.’ only if there are more than six authors e.g. ‘Rose G et al. 1984…’.
Acronyms may be used for organisation names: in an in-text reference, the acronym is the author e.g. ‘(AIHW 1997),’ in the full reference, list the acronym, followed by the full name of the organisation enclosed in brackets e.g. ‘AIHW (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare) 2001…’.
Provide page numbers only when it is deemed necessary to guide readers to the quoted material e.g. when quoting from a long document or when summarising an entire publication.
In-text references to legislation are sufficient – do not reference legislation in full in either the Origin or Reference document attribute.
