Hi dear list,
In a DAMS repository, is it considered good practice to have a normal parent serial record and its issue records with only limited information (vol., no.), for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mods version="3.4" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3 http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/mods-3-4.xsd" xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<relatedItem type="host">
     <part>
           <detail type="volume">
             <caption>Vol.</caption>
              <number>10</number>
             </detail>
          </part>
</relatedItem></mods>

Is the above MODS record considered adequate?

What would you recommend for MODS coding for parent serial, serial issue records and article level records?
Thank you for any feedback or suggestion!
