Permits

Permits are any documentation authorizing activity or guiding usage. Permits are linked to transactions (Accessions, Loans, and Borrows). Permits may be “issued by” governmental agencies, landowners, registrations (e.g., CITES), donors, administrators, or anyone else. Permits may carry any level of authority (including none), and apply to any (or no) context or jurisdiction.

A permit can be linked to any number of transactions, and any number of permits may be liked from a single transaction.

Permit

Table Permit is the core table.

permit_id

internal key, not exposed

issued_date

The day the permit was issued, or the first day that it is valid. This is a DATE datatype, not ISO8601; only day-precision is allowed.

exp_date

The day on which the permit is no longer valid. This is a DATE datatype, not ISO8601; only day-precision is allowed. Used to automatically notify the permittees of the approaching expiration.

permit_num

Permit Number or Permit Identifier is an identifying text string. This is often assigned by the agency issuing the permit. Permit number is a required field; enter any suitable value which will help in locating the permit when such an identifier has not been provided by the issuer.

use_condition

Use Condition (ctuse_condition)is a very brief summary of the conditions imposed by a permit, meant to be displayed in various contexts to guide necessary research.

use_condition_summary

Use Condition Summary is an elaboration of use_condition; it should sufficiently convey to most users most of the time what the permit requires. (For more complex situations, the permit itself should be consulted.)

permit_remarks

These can be anything that extends the definition of the permit or the conditions under which it applies.

permit_agent

Table permit_agent links permits with agents.
