    4545 Resource not accessible ::
    46   The critical part is, how to handle situations, where the Resource is not accessible at all (i.e. irrespectively of access-rights)?
     46  The critical question is, how to handle situations, where the Resource is not accessible at all (i.e. irrespectively of access-rights).
    4747  This is often the case for written corpora, where the individual texts of the corpus are not available directly.
    48   Possible solutions:
     48  Optimally this situation shouldn't arise at all - if there is Metadata-record it should contain a link to the resource (or any sensible proxy) and if the resource itself is not accessible (like a piece of text in a big text-corpus), it shouldn't be announced by a separate MD-Record to the outer world at all.
     49  But if it still occurs, possible solutions are:
    4950   * Link to the MD-Record of the resource
    50    * Link to the MD-Record of the collection
    51    * If available Link to a part of the Resource that is available (Sometimes at least a bit bigger context-snippet around the keyword is available
    52 
    53 
     51   * Link to the MD-Record of the parent collection
     52   * Link to a part of the Resource that is available (Sometimes in a text-corpus at least a bit bigger context-snippet around the keyword is available.)

     55As mentioned in previous chapter (under ''Resource not accessible'') if individual items of a corpus are not accessible at all, they '''shouldn't''' be exposed via corresponding MD-Records. In such cases it seems more practical to provide '''just one''' MD-Record for the whole corpus, describing the corpus as whole, including coverage across various dimensions (time, space, genre) and linking to an endpoint, where the corpus can be searched in.
