MODS includes the element <location>, which is intended to carry the kind of information that is in MARC field 852. Your point is well taken that there is a need for this, and we will investigate how best to accommodate this in MODS. As for Dublin Core, its scope is cross domain resource discovery, and as a member of the DCMI Usage Board, I can say that holdings information would not be considered in scope as Dublin Core elements.
