Additional information

This element is based on the base carrier categories derived from the "Housing Format", "Intermediation Tool", and "Storage Medium Format" attributes of the RDA/ONIX Framework for Resource Categorization.

Consider a manifestation that has sub-units that are intended to be manipulated in a game or puzzle as having the category of "object". Consider the sub-units that are pieces of the game or puzzle to be three-dimensional objects instead of the category of their pre- or post-manipulation states.
