[DCRM-L] Final call for discussion (was: RE: DPC: Wording of i/j u/v conversion in DCRM)

[Erin Blake]

Discussion will close at the end of Monday, December 13. 

 

Changes to 0G2.2 and G4.2  are proposed, with re-wording based on DCRM-L
discussion: 

-----------------

Existing:

0G2.2. Letters i/j and u/v. If the rules for capitalization require
converting the letters i/j or u/v to uppercase or lowercase, follow the
pattern of usage in the publication being described.... 

 

Proposed:

0G2.2. Letters i/j and u/v. If the rules for capitalization require
converting the letters I or V to lowercase, or i, j, u, or v to
uppercase, follow the pattern of usage in the text to determine which
letter form to use....

------------------

Existing:

G4.2. Transcription. As instructed in rule 0G2.2, when the rules for
capitalization require converting i/j or u/v to uppercase or lowercase,*
the cataloger is to follow the pattern of usage in the publication being
described.

 

*An uppercase J or U in the source signals a modern distribution, in
which i and j are functioning as separate letters, as are u and v,
requiring no special consideration while converting case.

 

Proposed:

G4.2. Transcription. As instructed in 0G2.2, when the rules for
capitalization require converting the letters I or V to lowercase, or i,
j, u, or v to uppercase, follow the pattern of usage in the text to
determine which letter form to use.*

 

*An uppercase J in the source signals that i and j are functioning as
separate letters, requiring no special consideration while converting
case. Likewise, an uppercase U in the source signals that u and v are
functioning as separate letters, requiring no special consideration
while converting case.
