I'm glad that Barbara replied, since she undoubtedly understands this
better than most if not all. I was totally confused by the document, I
have to say, and in part I think it was the layout of the tables that
made it hard for me.
I was particularly surprised that "Sensory mode" is not filled in for
many of the elements, including "image" and "music." Perhaps that was
covered elsewhere in the document, but I couldn't find it.
I've read through the RDA/ONIX documents and I have a hard time
understanding the use cases for this particular division of the world.
It has the air of being more theoretical than practical, but maybe I
just don't know what practice is intended. It would be helpful for me to
see some concrete use cases.
