I agree with Mark, but did not comment on this originally because of
the uselessness of "other". The MRIs have "equipment" as a carrier,
which would fit.
There are ISBD Area 0 terms which are superior to RDA ones for content
and media, but not for carrier. There is an approved code for ISBD
Area 0 terms, but not for MRI ones. Perhaps "local" as used with
other fields?
I wonder how many of the creators of RDA are front line cataloguers as
opposed to administrations a bit removed from the fray? Situations
with which we deal daily are not well addressed, including kits and
equipment.
