7. The volume/date designation (or, more accurately, the "numeric and/or alphabetic, chronological, or other designation") is the element recorded in area 3 for serials according to the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. There are three other types of resources for which area 3 may be routinely applicable: cartographic materials ("mathematical data," MARC 255), music ("musical presentation statement," MARC 254), and computer files ("file characteristics," MARC 256). None of these MARC fields is specifically mapped to from Dublin Core, though at the risk of betraying an unintentional serials bias on my part, I think that the information recorded in a serials area 3 is less relegatable to some other element in DC than lhe other area 3's. For details about area 3, see the. 3 rules in chapters 3, 5, 9, and 12 of AACR, 2nd ed., 1988 rev. (Chicago: American Library Association, 1988).
