Check the 'Source' instruction to be sure that you are looking at the correct source(s) of information on the resource
If data on the resource and data as the element in the record are:
- PoR/PaE–check the Data Entry instructions:
  - data for this element must be Transcribed, but 1.7 and 1.8: make sure the data matches word-for-word and letter-for-letter (except exceptions)
- PoR/AaE–check the Core instructions:
  - data for this element is CoreIf:
    - it is ok if the element is missing as long as the related element is present
    - but if the related, core element is also missing, and cannot be added, then add this element
    - also consider adding this element if it helps to explain 'supplied' data in the related, core element
- AoR/PaE–check the Source instructions again:
  - since the Source for this element is or includes '[OSoI]', accept the data if it is 'supplied' (e.g., in square brackets, or explained in a note), as long as it seems applicable; indicate that the data is 'supplied' (with square brackets or a note 2.2.4), if that has not been done
- AoR/AaE–go to the next element:
  - but be sure to check the resource carefully, if the data for the element is Core, or if the data is important for differentiating the resource from a similar resource
