MARC 008 for continuing resources

[kiegel]

There are several bytes in field 008 that would be useful to convert for continuing resources.

008/06 (Type of date/Publication status)

Value c for "currently published" and d for "ceased publication" are important. Perhaps a property such as publicationStatus is needed.

008/21 (Type of continuing resource)

Value n for newspaper is important and may not be evident from other parts of the bib description.

008/24 (Nature of entire work)

This byte gives information characterizing the resource. We don't immediately see an existing property for this.

008/28 (Government publication )

This may be useful for other formats where it appears. bf:governmentPublication?
