Label: Description – Description may include but is not limited to: an abstract, table of contents, reference to a graphical representation of content or a free-text account of the content. Best practice recommendation for this element is to use full sentences. Although the source of the description may be a web page or other structured text with presentation tags, it is generally not good practice to include HTML or other structural tags within the Description element.

Example:
Description=”Illustrated guide to airport markings and lighting signals, with particular reference to SMGCS (Surface Movement Guidance and Control System) for airports with low visibility conditions.”

Description=”Teachers Domain is a multimedia library for K-12 science educators, developed by WGBH through funding from the National Science Foundation as part of its National Science Digital Library initiative.
