Going back to legal cases:
First observation is that the marc genre term of "legal case and case
notes" is rather unwieldy. Why not just "legal case"?
More importantly, am stuck on coding the court that hears a case. In
the example doc Jackie and I worked on, we ended up with:
<name type="corporate">
<namePart>U.S. Supreme Court, 4th Circuit.</namePart>
</name>
[note: actually, the name was coded twice; once for an abbreviated
version, which is exactly why we need the contributor wrapper I've been
calling for!]
However, in my MODS Tight schema, I am forcing the inclusion of role.
So this is what I'm thinking for a vale of the roleTerm:
<name type="corporate">
<namePart>U.S. Supreme Court, 4th Circuit.</namePart>
<role>
<roleTerm type="text">court</roleTerm>
</role>
</name>
Any better ideas?
