[DCRM-L] Going from Core-Level to BIBCO Standard Record in DCRM(G)

[Erin Blake]

Can someone read over my assumptions, below, and let me know if they're
accurate?

a) Core-level records could be created by anyone, and were recognizable
by the "4" in Leader/17; those created by BIBCO participants were
recognizable by "pcc" in the 042 in ADDITION TO the "4" in Leader/17.

b) BIBCO Standard Records can only be created by BIBCO participants
because they are recognizable only by the presence of "pcc" in the 042
(and only BIBCO participants can code "pcc")

Therefore... DCRM(G) Appendix C, which is being re-worded to cover the
new BSR for Graphic Materials instead of the old Core Record Standard
for Graphic Materials, can say ALL headings in DCRM(G) BSRs must be
supported by national-level authority records (because, unlike Core
records, only members of the PCC  BIBCO program can create BSRs).

Alternatively, DCRM(G) Appendix C could be re-written to cover "Standard
records" as opposed to "BIBCO Standard Records," but that would imply
that the Bib Standards Committee of RBMS considers BIBCO's definition of
a standard record to be the appropriate default (and there would be no
way to tell from the record that mandatory DCRM fields were missing).
Note that, unlike books, where there is a separate BSR MAP for Rare
Books, there is only one MAP for Graphic Materials.
