[DCRM-L] relator terms as part of a name/title heading

[Rettberg, Dan]

Deborah--

Unless I misunderstand you, the whole point of a relator term is to distinguish that person as an editor, publisher, printer, etc. I would leave them in place so that someone searching for "Jones, John, \e printer" can access all such separately from "Jones, John".

At the Folger, we're using relator terms with 100 main entry headings for our manuscripts. So what happens when we want to link to the heading for that work in another record? Do we retain the ?e?

My inclination is to say no, but then that creates a discrepancy between the heading for a work as it appears on the record for the work itself and as it appears linked from other records.

Thanks,
Deborah
