753 relates to #439 - revisit $2. It maps to "has equipment or system requirement", which can only be recorded as an unstructured description. However, in MARC the values of subfields a, b, and c may come from a VES. Can this be indicated using rdf:datatype, like in the decision for 3XX and in X30/65X with indicator 2?
@cspayne (and others): In general, an RDA unstructured description is similar to a note or a transcription from a manifestation (including the one being described). Transcription is typically associated with the manifestation statement elements in which the manifestation (being described) describes itself. So for the transform, an unstructured description is a note.
I think we have already agreed on the general treatment of notes: the 'content' subfields in order of appearance with embedded or added punctuation, preceded by an appropriate boilerplate phrase based on the field and subfield semantics.
