 We have broken down resource types over eight categories, including support for various art objects, multimedia files, online course files, virtual reality, and software. Each category - Dataset, Image, Instructional Resource, Presentation, Publication, Software, Audiovisual, and Other - has within it specific metadata fields that provide the ability to fully describe the object. 
 
-The eight top resource types and many of the subtypes are derived from the list in [the Datacite schema under resourceTypeGeneral](https://datacite-metadata-schema.readthedocs.io/en/4.6/appendices/appendix-1/resourceTypeGeneral/).The rest derived from our original resource types in the [CORE repository](https://works.hcommons.org/records/f9xww-xwr22), launched in 2016 as part of Humanities Commons.

 Each top level category - Dataset, Image, Instructional Resource, Presentation, Publication, Software, Audiovisual, and Other - has within it specific metadata fields that provide the ability to fully describe the object.

 #### Creator/contributor roles
 
 Keeping with our support for a wide variety of objects and disciplines, our creator roles are more diverse than just "author," "editor," or "translator." For contribuors we were influenced by the [CRediT Taxonomy](https://credit.niso.org/), finding ways of recognizing labor even when the contribution is not immediately visible. Included in both creator and contributor roles a selection of types taken from the [Variations Metadata](https://dlib.indiana.edu/projects/variations3/metadata/guide/controlVocabs/contributorRoles.html) taxonomy, providing the ability to credit those who engage in creative and musical works.
