For the first, PRISM has volume and number, which is generally too
limited, and vague (in the second case).
My druthers, and in fact a more RDF-ish approach than your's, would
just be to have properties/elements that are quite specific:
volumeNumber
issueNumber
documentNumber
... and then I'd add partNumber. A group us are working on a list of
suggested changes for PRISM, so this *might* be a relatively
uncontroversial one.
For dates, most of the time they can be covered by standard dateIssued
sorts of structures. PRISM actually has a displayDate thing too.
The tricky dates are the ones I've mentioned before: Spring/Summer, for example.
