Transcription Scheme Code Source Codes

Introduction

Transcription Scheme Code Sources contains a list of standard transcription schemes and assigns a code to each.  The purpose of this list is to identify the transcription scheme used to transcribe data contained in metadata records.  For code assignment, general structure, usage, and maintenance guidelines see Introduction.

Arrangement of the list

Entries in the list are arranged in alphabetical order by the code and consist of the source code followed by the bibliographic citation for the source documentation.  The citations are linked to the online source for some codes.

Code structure

Each code consists of a maximum of 12 characters, including lowercase alphabetic characters, numeric characters 0 through 9, and the hyphen (-).  Possible additions to codes are described in Source Code Maintenance.
