<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group (CVEG) invites you to share feedback on a set of proposals related to terms in the provenance markings section of the Controlled Vocabulary for Rare Materials
Cataloging (CVRMC) and corresponding terms in the RBMS Relationship Designators.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The project includes proposals for changes and new scope notes for terms including Autographs, Inscriptions, Annotations, signer, inscriber, and annotator, among others. The goal is to bring consistency and
clarity to these related terms, many of which do not have existing scope notes. Due to the significance of these terms for many in the rare materials community and the complex nature of the changes, we are seeking community feedback earlier in the process
than when we post accepted terms and revisions on the CVEG blog for public comment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The proposals and the background information on the issues that the proposals seek to resolve are available in this document:
