Wanted change/feature

  • Text: Currently, we have to multiply <physDescStructured> using the @parallel and @coverage attributes for:
    • For heterogeneous collections that cannot be accounted for using a single <unitType>
    • For materials where it is important to express both physical and logical volumes for the same document unit.

Examples :

  1. audiovisual documents where we need to count both the number of physical units (such as VHS) and the duration.
  2. digital documents, for which it is necessary to measure both the volume in bytes (for physical management) and the units handled by the user (number of emails / PDF files, etc.).

Suggested Solution

  • Text: Couldn’t we also allow <quantity> + <unitType> to be repeated in the same <physDescStructured> by using the @target attribute of <unitType> to pair the correct <quantity> element with the correct <unitType> element? E.g.
<physDescSet>
  <physDescStructured coverage="whole">
    <quantity id="extent1">2</quantity>
    <unitType target="extent1">bande</unitType>
    <quantity id="extent2">240</quantity>
    <unitType target="extent2">min</unitType>
  </physDescStructured>
<physDescSet>
<physDescSet>
  <physDescStructured coverage="whole">
    <quantity id="extent1">1</quantity>
    <unitType target="extent1">disque dur</unitType>
    <quantity id="extent2">3,85</quantity>
    <unitType target="extent2">To</unitType>
  </physDescStructured>
<physDescSet>

Discussed at the TS-EAS meeting on 12/13 August in the context of reviewing the approach to encoding physical description information in general. The decision was to keep <quantity> and <unitOfMeasurement> (renamed from <unitType>) as not repeatable, but to have their parent element repeated for parallel statements (e.g. in different languages, but also for different units of measurement with the according quantities).

All relevant changes in physical description will be addressed via #155.
