This is definitely needed.

I like that the name materialExtent is specific, because in museum work this means something very different:
Part of object or work contributed by an agent, measured in a dimension, or described by a subject, or to which a material or technique statement applies.

I'm just not sure QuantitativeValue is useful in this case because:
- in my experience the extent texts are very unstructured and varied
- it's not likely one would want to search or sum by extent value (unless you're planning a warehouse or something)

Cheers!
