The record detail view appears to pull the Material Type display information
from the 000 Leader space 6. This needs more consistency and a better
reflection of the material type.

Some examples:

Projected medium = Film
Language Material = Text
Mixed materials = Mixed Materials
Musical Sound Recording = Music
Nonmusical Sound Recording = Sound
Manuscript language Material = Text
Notated Music = Score

Some of these make sense, but others could cause confusion. For example the
term Film could imply a motion picture or a 35mm film. Perhaps it would be
better if the display replicated the text in space 6. It may be difficult to
have better precision with the language because of the continual changing of
the definitions over time.

To further add to the discussion, if more specificity is wanted, then the 007
could also be used as a check for the display.
