<div>Hi Maura-</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After talking it over, we think we'll probably just use the container summary to hold the parallel expression. That will be valid for most things and for the few it's not....well, we'll deal with that if it turns out to cause unexpected issues. It also
simplifies our mapping by quite a bit!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for taking a stab at the plugin as well - above and beyond!</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hmm, I suppose it would depend on how you want it formatted. I admit I'm no an archivist and so I'm not familiar with how thing 'should' look according to DACS. One option would be to keep the 'main' part of the extent as the extent label and
then include the second part in a physical details note, although it doesn't seem that that note gets displayed on the public page. You could modify the display for that part of the page if you wanted it to show.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The only other option I could think of would be to create a plugin that allows for a second parallel statement where things are displayed 1st Statement (2nd Statement). You'd have to modify a number of files -- I took a crack at it but I think I might
have done something wrong as it doesn't appear to be rendering. Does anyone know if a plugin is incorrectly written do we get an error or does the system just load the defaults? If anyone wants to take a look feel free! I don't know ruby that well and also
might be missing some files needed to make it happen.</div>

<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">I should have been a bit clearer in my first post. The problem that I see is that when you have one or more parallel expressions of extent there's no obvious way to enter what are
otherwise legal DACS extent expressions. The best example I can come up with is:</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">1 transcript (782 pages)</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">10 boxes (15 linear ft.)</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">There's no container in the transcript expression, nor is there a dimension or physical detail specified. That leaves us with two parallel extents statements: a) 1 transcript & b)
782 pages. It appears that we would have to enter these as two separate extent instances in AS. Now that's fine if there are only these two statements and we mark both as "whole" for the portion. However, what happens when you mix in the other extent expression:
10 boxes (15 linear ft.)? There is no way to link the extents that are parallel expressions since you would essentially have something like:</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Extent 1: Portion, 1, transcript</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Extent 2: Portion, 782, pages</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Extent 3: Portion, 15, linear ft. with "container summary" set to: 25 boxes</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Its impossible (at least from a scripting perspective and hence MARC export) to be certain that Extent 1 & Extent 2 are parallel expressions. Does that explain the issue more? I'm
hoping I'm missing something simple!</div>
