    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.

    This reorganization and recommendations seem to sufficiently address past and future needs.

    I agree, this reorganization and restructuring seems like it will make recording extent more structured but also more flexible.

    I agree with Erin and Shelby that the proposed recommendations and restructuring of the element Manifestation sufficiently address issues related to describing extent.

    Recommendation 1: agree

    Recommendation 2:  Create the element Manifestation: manifestation extent statement, referencing each of the subelements of Manifestation: extent of manifestation as options to record a value.

    Comment: Generally agree - but where is the text of the instructions, references, etc.? The only thing in this proposal is the definition. For suggested new elements, I expected to see the full text, even if it is as brief as note on collective agent. To fully understand how all of these proposals interrelate, the full context would be helpful.

    I am supportive of this proposal, and of the various other proposals from the Extent Working Group--rather than comment on each individually to indicate support, I am doing so here.  In the cases where I have more specific feedback, I have left comments on the thread for those proposals.
