Corrections to Z39.50 Holdings Schema - Version 1.1

Enumeration and Chronology - background

In the present version 1.1 is it not possible to express more than one level for a BibPart. An example: One BibPart is volume 5, issue 2. You can only express volume 5 or issue 2 with version 1.1. And it is a normal requirement to have several levels to present for one BibPart.

In Table 1: Bibliographic Level Holdings Element specification is indicated that there can be more levels of Enumeration and Chronology:

But this is not reflected in Appendix: Holdings Schema -- Abstract Record Structure.

To solve this problem danZIG propose to add childEnumeration to Enumeration and add childChronology to Chronology:

 

Proposal: Add childEnumeration to Enumeration and add childChronology to Chronology

In Appendix: Holdings Schema -- Abstract Record Structure:

Element : childEnumeration
Occ. : 0+
Description : More detailed enumeration

Add to Chronology:

For Chronology is added childChronology with O for B-2, B-3 and B-4 and NR for Rpt.
