Subject: [DCRM-L] Introduction comments


Proofreading comments for Introduction.

Please note: I found some of the same problems and typos that Ryan
addressed in an earlier email. I've deleted those from this list.
Introduction:

1. On p. 9: List of contents: Intro 8 should read, "Intro 8. Examples
and
notes"[DJL]  Fixed

3. On p. 10: "Intro 2.1." and "Intro 2.2." should be on separate line to
conform to layout?[DJL]  Yes and no. Subsection headers get their own
lines only when they have a caption. However, I thought it was
appropriate to add captions to these two ("AACR2 and ISBD(A)" and
"MARC21" respectively) and so yes, they are now on a separate line. 
4. On p. 13: "Intro 3.2.1.  ... distinguish clearly among different
manifestations of an expression or work" Cf. Ryan's notes on FRBR terms
vs.
DCRM(B) language.[DJL]  fixed
5. On p. 15: Reference to rules 4B3-4, 4 B8-12, 4E incorrect? [DJL]  Why
do you think they might be incorrect? These talk about supplied place
names, which for us is in English, but for non-English agencies should
probably be in the modern forms of their own language. Or am I missing
something else? 

8. On p. 17: Reference to "see Intro 7"  under "'Optional note'" is
incorrect. Perhaps Intro 8.2. ?[DJL]  Should have been "Intro 4." Fixed
 
9. On p. 20: Fourth paragraph, beginning, "Although treatment of
headings..." Re. Full-level cataloging: "The name headings need not be
established using authority records, although full authority work will
generally result in greater consistency of headings and improved
access."
This in contrast to the Core-level which states that headings must be
established in the LC/NACO and SACO files.[DJL]  Sorry Nina, I'm missing
your point.


Preliminaries:


Also: Although we weren't asked to comment upon the preliminary pages, I
found a couple of problems:

1. Table of Contents needs pagination[DJL]  The TOC, along with the
title page, will be redesigned by the graphic designer. Plus, we can't
add page numbers until all the editing is done. But thanks for the
reminder. 
2. The leaf following the ToC [p. 4] is blank. Is this intentional?[DJL]
Yes, all major sections, with the possible exception of Area 3, begin on
rectos. 
3. On p. 7, with paragraph beginning, "Our thanks go, too, to the
Folger...", there is mention of images. When will these be added?  [DJL]
They are already there; I obtained all the images of characters in area
7 and appendix G from Folger books using a digital microscope or a
scanner. If there is a graphic on the cover, it will also be from the
Folger. (The designer will present several possible designs, only one of
which (I believe) will have a graphic, which will be one or more of the
two dozen printers' marks I scanned). Do I need to be more explicit
about the kind of images I mean?  
4. On p. 7, bottom line and continuing to first two lines of p. 8: the
names are italicized and out of sequence.[DJL]  Yup. The italicized
out-of-sequence names are of those people who volunteered to proofread;
I un-italicize them and add to the correct sequence when they send in
their comments.
