Michele,
You're on the right track but not yet there. You've correctly nested
the <c02>s within the <c01> and provided the container and title for
each within its respective <did>. The sticking point seems to be a
distinction between titles and heads of a section.
The container list is a section of the finding aid; that <dsc> gets a
<head> tag. Within the container list, the <unittitle> is the place to
record the title of each series. Stylesheets will extract the
<unittitle> of any component you deem significant (e.g.,
level="series" or level="subseries".) The other change is that your
<abstract> should be a <scopecontent>: technically both are correct but
<scopecontent is a core ISAD-G element; <abstract> is really designed
just for the highest level <did>, as a summary of the collection
contents.
See the adjusted tagging below:
<c01 level="series">
<did>
<unittitle>Correspondence</unittitle>
</did>
<scopecontent>
<p>Correspondence between John Smith and various parties,
organized alphabetically.</p>
<c02>
<did>
<container type="box">Box 4</container>
<container type="folder">Folder 1</container>
<unittitle>American Heart Association</unittitle>
</did>
</c02>
<c02>
<did>
<container type="box">Box 4</container>
<container type="folder">Folder 2</container>
<unittitle>Anthony, John</unittitle>
</did>
</c02>
<c02>
<did>
<container type="box">Box 4</container>
<container type="folder">Folder 3</container>
<unittitle>A (miscellaneous)</unittitle>
</did>
</c02>
</c01>
Hope this helps!
