Abstract
This proposal introduces two of the main elements for the redevelopment of recording extent in RDA. With this proposal, the element Manifestation: extent of manifestation is recast as a superelement. The values of Manifestation: extent of manifestation may be developed from its subelements and constructed according to string encoding schemes. With this proposal a new manifestation statement element, Manifestation: manifestation extent statement, is an option available for all extent elements for recording a value as found on a manifestation.
