This is the motivation for introducing the Object -element. One should go through the manuscript module and introduce generalised elements for elements like Contents for msContents or use elements like objectDesc as they are. one of the practical problems is that it means simultaneously revising existing descriptions. so objectDesc/@form is defined as "a short project-specific name identifying the physical form of the carrier, for example as a codex, roll, fragment, partial leaf, cutting etc." and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes, MS module is conceptually capable of being revised into an Object module, but the route of imitating place/person/org instead meant much less work and disruption :-{ -- Stormageddon Rahtz Head of Information and Support Group Oxford University Computing Services 13 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6NN.
