[DCRM-L] Standard citation forms corporate main entry

[Deborah J. Leslie]

My recollection is that the idea of dropping main entry in the citation form for corporate main entries and multiple personal authors was attractive, quite apart from the RDA or AACR2 coherence.

The title will in many cases be entirely insufficient. If RDA has so disconnected the library "community" from the general run of people who cite things, then perhaps we should disconnect "standard citation forms" from RDA, and formulate according to scholarly expectation and, to some extent, the practices of antiquarian booksellers.

The 510 is a note field. There's no more reason, and perhaps less, to follow RDA than there is to let e.g. the Chicago Manual be our guide.

What is the current state of debate for corporate main entries in formulating 510 forms? Has it been decided to drop the corporate main entry from the citation form? From the BSC annual 2011 minutes:

... the working group could drop the main entry for multiple authors and corporate authors and use the title only, since the title will not change between RDA and AACR2. There was general support for this idea, though there will be cases where the main entries are necessary to sufficiently distinguish the resource.
