This is definitely a needed element on any metadata that describes a
non-monographic publication. It seems to me that it fits into the TYPE
element, which is where you would state that the item is a serial.
There are actually a whole host of questions that this brings up for me
about serial publications (which always present special problems for
description and discovery). I hope that anyone who has tackled these
problems in DCMS will post to the list.
