APPENDIX A
CIMI-1 Attribute Set
The CIMI Profile specifies a Z39.50 attribute set, the CIMI–1 Attribute Set, for use in searching databases of cultural heritage information resources.
Appendix B provides guidance for using attribute types and combining attribute types and values. Appendix C provides semantics for the Use attribute values specified in CIMI–1.
Note: The publication of the CIMI Profile, Release 1.0H, coincided with important activities within the Z39.50 community related to attribute sets, including the adoption of a Attribute Architecture for new attribute sets. Discussions are underway concerning the development of a Dublin Core attribute set, the incorporation or mapping of Dublin Core elements into Bib–1, and other changes. CIMI will monitor these developments for their effects on CIMI–1.
Object Identifier
The OID for CIMI-1 is 1.2.840.10003.3.8.
Attribute Types
CIMI-1 uses the following attribute types as defined in the Bib-1 Attribute Set:
| Type | Name | Restrictions, Constraints | ||||
| 1 | Use | valid values are defined below | ||||
| 2 | Relation | all values defined in Z39.50 Bib-1 | ||||
| 3 | Position | all values defined in Z39.50 Bib-1 | ||||
| 4 | Structure | all values defined in Z39.50 Bib-1 | ||||
| 5 | Truncation | all values defined in Z39.50 Bib-1 | ||||
| 6 | Completeness | all values defined in Z39.50 Bib-1 |
CIMI-1 defines the following attribute types:
| Type | Name | Definition | ||||
| 101 | Authority | a value identifying the authoritative source from which a term is taken | ||||
| 103 | Charset | a value identifying the character set used to encode the term |
Values for Attribute Type 1 (Use)
CIMI–1 imports a small selection of Bib–1 Use attributes to provide basic Author–Title–Subject searching of bibliographic databases by CIMI–clients and to support searching of CIMI-servers by bibliographic–oriented Z39.50 clients that do not support the CIMI Profile. CIMI–servers should be prepared to receive the Bib–1 OID or the CIMI-1 OID with these Use attribute values. The selection of Bib–1 Use attributes in CIMI–1 is based in part on emerging consensus within the Conference of European National Libraries (CENL) as documented in the Z39.50 Bib-1 Attribute Set Profile for CENL [3], which in turn is closely related to the U.S. ATS-1 Profile [8]. Both profiles address semantic interoperability between bibliographic Z39.50 clients and servers. Adopting these Bib–1 Use attributes in CIMI–1 increases the likelihood of semantic interoperability between those Z39.50 clients and servers and CIMI–clients and CIMI–servers.
CIMI–1 defines new Use attributes that allow searching of cultural heritage information resources (see below).
CIMI–1 defines Use attributes values (2051–2065) that correspond to the Dublin Core Metadata Elements to support interoperable, cross–domain resource discovery. In addition, Bib–1 Use attributes values 31, 54, 62, 1018, 1031, and 1032 alternatively may be used by Z39.50 bibliographic clients for searching on Dublin Core Elements date, language, description, publisher, type, and identifier.
Only one value of a Use attribute may occur in an attribute list.
The CIMI Profile recommends that queries restrict their use of imported Bib–1 Use attribute values to the following:
| Value | Name | ||
| 4 | title | ||
| 7 | ISBN | ||
| 8 | ISSN | ||
| 31 | date of publication | ||
| 32 | date of acquisition | ||
| 54 | code language | ||
| 58 | name geographic | ||
| 62 | abstract | ||
| 1003 | author | ||
| 1004 | personal author | ||
| 1016 | any | ||
| 1018 | publisher | ||
| 1031 | material type | ||
| 1032 | doc-id |
CIMI-1 defines the following Use attributes for searching of cultural heritage information resources. Attribute values that are designated as reserved had been used in prototype implementations of the CIMI Profile. The reuse of these attribute values will be considered in future releases of the Profile. Local implementations may define Use attributes for local use and assign values in the 5000-7999 range.

* These Use attribute values may correspond with Aquarelle Project-specific access points that arise from the need to search for sites and buildings in architectural heritage databases. See Appendix C for semantics for these attribute values.

Values for Attribute Type 101 (Authority)
The primary source for this list of authorities is the Art Information Task Force (AITF), Categories for the Description of Works of Art: Bibliography of Controlled Vocabulary Sources [1]. See that document for full citation information.
Only one value of an authority attribute may occur in an attribute list.
The server is to interpret the lack of an authority value in a query as the client "not saying" anything about the term. When such a case occurs, it is the server's choice in processing the term.
The list of values for the Authority attribute will be revised as necessary based on implementation experience and implementor requirements.
| Value | Name | Definition and/or Full Name of Authority | ||||
| 1 | Non-authoritative | The client explicitly states that the term is not taken from any authoritative list | ||||

Servers may fault or ignore terms encoded using a character set which they do not support; or they may treat the term as though it were encoded using a "sufficiently similar" character set. When no CHARSET attribute is specified in a query, servers should assume that the term is encoded using ISO Latin-1.
