<b>Subject:</b> [DCRM-L] "Bookseller" as Relator Term<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">What is the consensus regarding the application of the relator terms "Bookseller" and "publisher" in the context of a database that contains records for books old and new? "Bookseller" as the counterpart
of what we now call a "publisher" is essentially an archaic usage; the role played by the e.g. c18 bookseller named in an imprint is really what we understand as a combination of publisher, distributor and retail bookseller (and possibly printer as well).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Our foremost concern in providing an access point for entities named in imprints and colophons is to identify "a person or organization responsible for publishing, releasing, or issuing a resource"--which
is one of the parameters for identifying a manifestation. And that is the definition of the relator term "publisher", no matter how the person or body might have been styled when the resource was produced.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">The relator term "Bookseller" designates one who "makes books and other bibliographic materials available for purchase". Vis-a vis manifestations, this is a secondary role of the bookseller. That
is, "bookseller" as a relator term applies more to items than it does to manifestations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">I've seen many rb records that use "bookseller" for the bookseller as publisher, but I'm uncomfortable using a data point that relies on historical context, and specialized knowledge, for its correct
interpretation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
