Syntax

Copy

public class SourceCitation : SourceCitationStructure

Public Class SourceCitation
	Inherits SourceCitationStructure

type SourceCitation = 
    class
        inherit SourceCitationStructure
    end

The SourceCitation type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	CustomTags	Gets the collection of сгыещь tags encountered in this context. (Inherited from Context)
	Date	Gets or sets the date that this event data was entered into the original source document.
	EventTypeCitedFrom	Gets or sets a code that indicates the type of event which was responsible for the source entry being recorded. For example, if the entry was created to record a birth of a child, then the type would be BIRT regardless of the assertions made from that record, such as the mother's name or mother's birth date. This will allow a prioritized best view choice and a determination of the certainty associated with the source used in asserting the cited fact.
	Links	Gets or sets a collection of the links to citation. (Inherited from SourceCitationStructure)
	Notes	Gets or sets the collection of notes. (Inherited from SourceCitationStructure)
	Page	Gets or sets the specific location with in the information referenced.
	Quay	Gets or sets the QUAY tag's value conveys the submitter's quantitative evaluation of the credibility of a piece of information, based upon its supporting evidence.Some systems use this feature to rank multiple conflicting opinions for display of most likely information first. It is not intended to eliminate the receiver's need to evaluate the evidence for themselves. (Inherited from SourceCitationStructure)
	Role	Indicates what role this person played in the event that is being cited in this context.
	SourceId	Gets or sets the SourceId of a source record.
	Text	Gets or sets a verbatim copy of any description contained within the source. This indicates notes or text that are actually contained in the source document, not the submitter's opinion about the source. This should be, from the evidence point of view, "what the original record keeper said" as opposed to the researcher's interpretation.
	UnknownTags	Gets the collection of unknown tags encountered in this context. (Inherited from Context)

Methods

	Name	Description
	ContextClosed	Called when the context is closed. The default implementation does nothing. (Inherited from Context)
	ContextOpened	Called when a context is opened. The default implementation does nothing. (Inherited from Context)
	Deserialize	Read data from the parser and deserialize it into the Gedcom.Net SDK class library. (Inherited from Context)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	GetValueT	Hets the value and main tags of the specified propName. (Inherited from Context)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
	PreporcessTag	Called before tag processing begins. The default implementation does nothing. (Inherited from Context)
	ProcessCustomTag	Add the custom tag into the CustomTags collection. (Inherited from Context)
	ProcessUnknownTag	When overridden, tries to process a tag that cannot be processed by the GEDCOM mechanism, because the tag is unknown or encountered in an unexpected context. (Inherited from Context)
	Serialize	Seserialize the Gedcom.Net SDK class library and write data to the composer. (Inherited from Context)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Remarks

The data provided in the SourceCitationStructure, SourceCitation, and SourceCitationDescripted structures is source-related information specific to the data being cited. Systems that do not use a SourceRecord record must use the non-preferred SourceCitationDescripted structure option.

When systems that support the SourceRecord record format encounters a source citation that does not contain pointers to source records, then that system needs to create a SourceRecord record format and store the source description information found in the non-structured source citation in the Title for the new source record.

The information intended to be placed in the citation structure includes:

The pointer to the SourceRecord, which contains a more general description of the source used for the fact being cited.
Information, such as a page number, to help the user find the cited data within the referenced source. This is stored in the Page.
Actual text from the source that was used in making assertions, for example a date phrase as actually recorded in the source, or significant notes written by the recorder, or an applicable sentence from a letter. This is stored in the Text.
Data that allows an assessment of the relative value of one source over another for making the recorded assertions (primary or secondary source, etc.). Data needed for this assessment is data that would help determine how much time from the date of the asserted fact and when the source was actually recorded, what type of event was cited, and what type of role did this person have in the cited source.
