Hi, I think the fundamental question is whether the "see"-reference is a component at all. If the reference is tagged as proposed how could one tell the search-engine not to indicate the reference when the originial location is allready shown? What about an indication on the c0x-level as <c02 type="reference"> but an attribute type ist not available in c0x, so perhaps <c02 altrender="reference"> ?

Juni 2005 15:58 An: [log in to unmask] Betreff: Re: Question regarding items with "see" reference Michele R., The reality is that the item is identified with location information in another place in the finding aid. Therefore, do not use the physloc element. Either: 1. use the ref as a child of unittitle. 2. use the ref as a child of note/p. The rest is fine. My 2 cents.
