Let's see if I can help clear up part of this: Janifer Gatenby wrote: > Can we allow unstructured string data in > "alternativeEnumeration" and > "alternativeChronology" so that it can be used for simple > flat display?

I think Joe meant to say "childEnumChronSummary" not "childEnumChronology". And the point is this: you can stop recursion at any level you want and instead provide a child-enumeration/chronology-summary via childEnumChronSummary. So if "issue 2" is represented recursively as a child of "volume 5" then, as has been pointed out, you don't (i.e., can't) represent "volume 5, issue 2" as a flat string. You would represent issue 2 in the child structure subordinate to volume 5. If you chose not to represent issue 2 as a child (i.e. recursively), then you can supply the flat string "volume 5, issue 2" via childEnumChronSummary. --Ray
