Abstract
As subelements of Manifestation: extent of manifestation, the proposed elements Manifestation: number of containers and Manifestation: dimensions of container are used to record quantifications and measurements of containers in a manifestation. An RDA vocabulary encoding scheme for Containers is established, with some terms pulled from the RDA Carrier Extent Unit vocabulary encoding scheme. The proposed subelement Manifestation: extent of storage space is used for a measurement of the storage space occupied by a collection manifestation. The term container appears twice in the RDA Glossary appears twice and the definitions can be consolidated into the term in RDA Recording Source.
