Technical Definition

Provides an alternate title for the publication, where the title may have changed during its run. Occasionally this is a minor change, such as dropping the article, but this can also be a more radical restyling of the publication. Standardised title information can be found in newspaper title

Individual Collection Notes

PPME: Multiple alternate titles are listed within the string, separated by semi-colons

DEMP: The alternate title listed in dcterms:alternative can take one of two forms: either the value starts with “Ook bekend onder de naam” (also known as), or “Eerder verschenen onder de naam” (previously published as). dcterms:isVersionOf is the same as “Ook bekend onder de naam”, but in this case only the alternate newspaper title is listed, without the leading text, giving a normalised title.
