COMPENDIUM OF EXAMPLES
The following examples were created to demonstrate how the VRA Core Categories 3.0 might be implemented. Variations in data content (and the way the data is entered) are
intentional in order to illustrate variation in practice. Some of the examples include the use of the Core for local administrative metadata (e.g., digital images made from slides). We include these to illustrate how the Core might be used to describe various derivatives. Please Note: these examples were created by the Data Standards Committee and do not represent the cataloging work of any institution.

Example 4
The following data sets describe a temporary piece of architecture erected for the entry of Emperor Charles V into Nuremburg on Feb. 16, 1541.
