===== Culture =====

==== Overview ====

(Req, Rep, [[http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/|TGN]]/[[http://authorities.loc.gov/|LOC Authorities]]/other)

In //Culture// record the culture or nationality from which the work originated. Culture may repeat the creator nationality or allow to further contextualize a work if the the culture is different or more specific than the creator's nationality. Culture may also repeat Style_Period when a cultural term is commonly used to describe a style. For example if the artist's nationality is American, but the artist is an African-American, that can be recorded in the Culture field. Also when an architect works in another country, you may want to repeat the field in order to record the culture of the architect and also the culture in which the building was created.

Capitalize terms for culture and nationality. Avoid abbreviations.
