You are right, the 129 page spec of Z39.88 only deals with these in
examples, and IIRC does not even decent pointers to the following:
There are some "Core Metadata formats" registered under
http://alcme.oclc.org/openurl/servlet/OAIHandler?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&set=Core:Metadata+Formats
notably info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:book and info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal :
< http://www.openurl.info/registry/docs/mtx/info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:book >,
< http://www.openurl.info/registry/docs/mtx/info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal >.
As for the semantics of the fields defined there, the "description" is
certainly not strictly defined in any sense but you can already see
that there is potential for confusion and especially no canonical way
(no way at all?) to achieve satisfying descriptions for several kinds of
non-mainstream objects:
* scholarly articles originally published online (when a "journal
context" cannot be constructed)
* articles in books which are not by coincidence conference proceedings
