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:

 

·        enumLevel: up to 6 levels of enumeration are permitted by US MARC

·        chronLevel: up to 4 levels of enumeration are permitted by US MARC

 

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:
