Template 1

This is the template used to encode cross-referencing information and recording details.

\dn document number

This field accommodates the document number of the file containing the language data. This number consists of up to three parts: a box number, a document number and (optionally) a subdocument number.

\cr cross-references

This field accommodates the document numbers of other associated documents in the Flint Collection.

\fl flint tape log number

This field accommodates the reference number in Flint's tape log of the audio-tape containing the recorded language data.

\an acquisition number (AIATSIS collection of audio-tapes in their Flint collection)

This field accommodates the acquisition number of the audio-tape as part of the Flint Collection in the AIATSIS sound archives.

\cm AIATSIS tape reference

This field accommodates the AIATSIS code number of the audio-tape

\cd compact disc reference

This field accommodates the code number of the digital recording of the audio-tape. It is the same as the AIATSIS tape reference.

\gp group number

This field accommodates the number assigned by Flint to the group which provided the language data.

\lg language name

This field accommodates the name of the language being recorded. Flint's spelling of the language name is used.

\loc recording location

This field accommodates the name of the location at which the recording was made.

\da date

This field accommodates the date and time at which the recording was made.

\o observer

This field accommodates the name of the researcher eliciting or collecting the language data

\snc speaker name and code

This field accommodates the name of the informant providing the language data. This field is repeated if there is more than one speaker. If the language material is text (rather than elicitation), so that there is alternation between speakers, each speaker is assigned a code (generally the first letter of their name), which is then used to specify the speaker in the text (in the \sp field of Template 3).
