Hi, Paul.
I think the key question to labelling is how much (and what kind of)
meta-information you wish to put into the numbering system.
Personally I have used a serial-number apporach for a long time, but I have
been quite unhappy with it. The serial number just gives the relative order
of the individual slides, nothing else. Some time ago I realised that the
mounted slide is not really the main unit in my archive; the film it comes
from is.
So now I use a two-part number: <film no.>-<frame no.>. Not very
sophisticated, but it works. When looking at a slide, there is a direct
reference to the film that holds alternative exposures, etc.
