Introduction
Categories for the Description of Works of Art (CDWA) is a Getty publication describing a set of guidelines for cataloging art and architecture.
Mapping
Remarks, citations, and page are repeated everywhere in CDWA, but the same pattern applies as from 1.5 and 1.6.
Similarly, there are earliest and latest dates called out explicitly for every date field, which again is as per 4.2.1.
