Title

TITLE TITLE yes The title or identifying phrase given to a Work or an Image. In many cases, the Title will refer to the work, while the View refers to the title of the image. For complex works or series the title may refer to a discrete unit within the larger entity (a print from a series, a panel from a fresco cycle, a building within a temple complex) or may identify only the larger entity itself. A record for a part of a larger unit should include both the title for the part and the title for the larger entity. Use AAI's Other Titles to describe variant titles or translations.
