Topic 6: Glossary: Fingerprint and Topic 8: Future revisions

[by way of Juliet McLaren <juliet@ucrac1.ucr.edu>]

  Bob, in response to your comment: "does such a thing exist?"  I assume that
  the Steele notations used to identify British royal proclamations are
  exactly what is meant by a 'fingerprint'.  That is, these notations consist
  of three words taken from specific places in the text which identify an
  issue, state, or impression uniquely--along with the usual bibliographic
  suspects: imprint, date, etc.
  
  As to topic 8: Revisions in the future -- does anyone have any bright
  thoughts on this at the present moment?  
  
  I have an idea that we may need a standing committee on Relator Terms and
  Glossary items, such as the one on Genre Terms, to keep us moving in the
  right direction on a regular basis, but cannot yet deal very coherently
  with revising the current revision under construction--if you all follow
that.
