RepositoryObjectID

RepositoryObjectID is placed at the end of the Locations hierarchy, but not necessarily part of it. This layout records the administrative identification number assigned to an object by its owning entity. If you have this information on hand while cataloging, please include it in the Work record. The RepositoryObjectID is very important when cataloging ancient art, particularly statuary and ceramics, in order to differentiate objects from one another. In cataloging manuscript or book pages the RepositoryObjectID functions as the lowest position of the Locations hierarchy, indicating within which manuscript the page is located.
