FunctionalProperty hasSignificantPropertiesValue 
| Containers | Current |
|---|---|
| 1 - Object 1.4 - significantProperties | 1.4.2 significantPropertiesValue |
| Semantic unit | 1.4.2 significantPropertiesValue |
|---|---|
| Definition | Description of a characteristic of a particular object which has been determined subjectively to be important to maintain through preservation actions. |
| Obligation | Optional |
| Repeatability | Not repeatable |
| Rationale | Repositories may choose to describe significant properties based on a particular aspect or attribute of an object. |
| Data constraint | None |
| Usage notes | If facet:detail pairs are used, the content of significantPropertiesValue should describe the significant properties of the object relevant to the aspect, facet, or attribute declared in the significantPropertiesType with which it is paired. If facet:detail pairs are not used, significantPropertiesValue may be used to freely to describe any characteristic of an object. significantPropertiesValue is not repeatable. Multiple significant properties should be described in separate, repeated significantProperties container units. |
