  • If no title is available, best practice is to give a constructed title, derive a title from the resource or supply [no title].
  • Retain initial articles and use local sorting algorithms based on language. (For example, see: Initial Definite and Indefinite Articles for a list of articles in various languages).
  • A language qualifier may be used to indicate language of title if appropriate.(See Guidelines for the Creation of Title Content)
