2A/categories/common item

From Leapspecs

One of the Leap2A categories

This category scheme is to distinguish particular items common to several portfolio systems. There is no particular relationship between the different terms in this scheme.

An entry can be associated with any number of terms from this scheme. Use e.g.

<category scheme="categories:common_item#" term="Personalstatement" label="Personal Statement" />

or in full, without CURIEs,

<category scheme="http://wiki.leapspecs.org/2A/categories/common_item#" term="Personalstatement" label="Personal Statement" />

Intermission

period spent disengaged from an activity

This can be applied to items that take time and are interruptable, particularly activities, to indicate, for example, leave of absence, extended sickness, or parental leave. If you want to note an intermission in an activity, create a new "Intermission" activity that is part of the activity that was interrupted.

• Each item with category "Intermission" must have exactly one item that it is a part of.
• Items with category "Intermission" with the same containing item should not overlap in time.

The correspondence of this intermission with the activities that filled the time vacated is simply through identification of the times involved. The "intermitting activity" should have a title and description related to the nature of the intermission, not the nature of the activity that filled that period of time.

Here is an unchecked example.

Note

a general note

This category can be used to clarify that an entry neither has a more particular purpose, nor belongs to another category. It would normally be applied to a plain entry.

Personalstatement

a statement about the portfolio holder

This would usually be a category of entry, indicating that the entry was intended as a presentation of the portfolio holder to some chosen audience.
