* [[Standard Values Quick Reference]] - A compilation of the standard values used for common attributes in the core classes, with notes of particular relevance to SBN data preparers.  The attributes are listed alphabetically, and standard value lists for different contexts (containing classes, that is) are listed under those, where applicable.  The list doesn't include meanings for the values, largely because they are not yet available - publicly or privately.
