Sick of beetles yet?

I now have separate mods records for each step.

What is missing from the below is the label that I would like to put on the
the <partNumber> so that it can be a type="volume" or type="part" (or
type=teil, etc.) for my style sheet to label these. This is important since
in one record it is a volume number and in another record it is a part
number. And I can picture citations needed sections or paragraphs or the
like in legal stuff.

I have used the relatedItem type="host" to point to the next record up the
food chain (or family tree). I did give a little information to help me sort
through it but the <physicalDescription> in the "host" isn't actually needed
since it will be stored in the actual record of the host item.  Instead of
cramming the data in one I am going to try to 'point' to the next mods
record (???xlink???) (???dRef???).

I have used the relatedItem type="original" to point to data that would be
about the original (none digitized version) record. (Again, xlink?)

Record 1 is for the part 4 of volume 4
Record 2 is for volume 4 of the 7 volume set
Record 3 is for the 7 volume set ( with a relatedItem type="host" to the
over all multivolume set).

Do you all think that next I should start looking at METS to figure out how
to make a structure map to house these separate MODS records????

Thanks for all yalls input.
