Stipulations​

Use an element super-type to record a less specific relationship.

Apply the stipulations for the element super-type unless indicated otherwise.

Record a value that is based on a designation in a statement of issue or iteration that appears in the manifestation or an external source of information.

For manifestation that embodies an expression of an issue or iteration of a diachronic work, record a value that is a numeric designation of only the issue or iteration.

For a manifestation that embodies the expression of a diachronic work, and if there is a change in the sequence of numeric designations of issues or iterations, record a value that uses a string encoding scheme to combine:

  1. a value for the manifestation that embodies an expression of the first issue or iteration of the work in the old numeric sequence
  2. a value for the manifestation that embodies an expression of the last issue or iteration of the work in the old numeric sequence
  3. a value for the manifestation that embodies an expression of the first issue or iteration of the work in the new numeric sequence

Record a has note on nomen associated with manifestation element that gives information about the change, if it is considered to be useful for users of the metadata.

For a manifestation that embodies the expression of a diachronic work that is known or assumed to have terminated, record a value that uses a string encoding scheme to combine:

  1. a value for the manifestation that embodies an expression of the first issue or iteration of the work in the numeric sequence
  2. a value for the manifestation that embodies an expression of the last issue or iteration of the work in the numeric sequence
