tidy up publicationStmt about medieval-mss HOT 6 CLOSED

What should be the perfect publicationStmt? i.e. we should probably include full address and contact email for manuscripts (generally) in the Bodleian. Suggestions as to what that should be appreciated.

from medieval-mss.

good question. I suggest something like:

<publisher>Bodleian Library, Special Collections</publisher>
<address>
<addrLine>Weston Library</addrLine>
<addrLine>Broad Street</addrLine>
<addrLine>Oxford</addrLine>
<addrLine>OX1 3BG</addrLine> 
<addrLine>United Kingdom</addrLine>
<addrLine><email>[email protected]</email></addrLine>
</address>

but your opinion as ever is welcome and there may be better places for the different elements to go. Is publisher Ok or do you prefer authority? Should we include a date?
I have talked with Martin about licences and he is investigating what the library will permit.

How about something like this:

<publicationStmt>
<publisher>Special Collections, Bodleian Libraries</publisher>
<address>
 <orgName type="department">Special Collections</orgName>
 <orgName type="unit">Bodleian Libraries</orgName>
 <orgName type="institution">University of Oxford</orgName>
 <street>Weston Library, Broad Street</street>
 <settlement>Oxford</settlement>
 <postCode>OX1 3BG</postCode>
 <country>United Kingdom</country>
</address>
<distributor>
 <email>[email protected]</email>
</distributor>
<availability>
 <licence target="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">A Creative Commons Attribution licence applies to this file.</licence>
</availability>
<idno type="website">manuscript_12345</idno>
<idno type="msID">MS Foo Blort 123</idno>
<idno type="collection">Foo</idno>  
</publicationStmt>

Major changes are to use specific elements rather than addrLine, include the email as distributor (though I suppose this could be authority), include an availability and some idnos that are easy to add.

We can't include a licence yet, I don't yet know what type we can use.
It seems odd to have distributor/email separate from publisher.
idno type="shelfmark" instead of "msID"?
idno type="URI" instead of "website" (giving the whole URI)?

Leaving this issue open to remind us that we need to get a consistent bodleian open licensing for the manuscript description.
