Element PhysicalDescription

Description

Contains the informations about physical descriptions of the items. Field 215.

In Unimarc, it can be repeated when a separate physical description is needed to each component of a multimedia kit. That's why we define a content of elements "PhysicalItem" that can be repeated.

We also use this element for field 230 (Material Specific Area: Computer File Characteristics), since this field contains a subfield $a which has broadly the same semantic as subfield $a in field 215. In the case of a computer file, some subelements should not be used if we want to stay conformant to Unimarc, although elements like "Dimensions" can be significant and interesting.
