Kind of a side note, but please consider ONIX Serial Holdings for 
expressing serial runs!   It is by far the best schema I've seen for 
doing this -- simple for simple cases, flexible for other cases, 
actually DOES express things in a machine-interpretable way. Everything 
else I've seen is both way too complicated, even for simple cases, and 
often ends up expressing holdings in a way that a machine can't act upon 
anyway.
