[DCRM-L] Relationship designators

[Ryan Hildebrand]

Fyi, at the last BSC meeting, expansion of abbreviated relator terms was approved. So, comp., ed., ill., and trans. are now officially "compiler," "editor," "illustrator," and "translator." These changes will be reflected in the next update of the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies. -Ryan

I've been using both RDA and RBMS relationship designators. But if the RBMS designator is abbreviated, I have opted to spell it out.


Re: subsequent relator terms:  is there an online catalog model that would have numerous |e in MARC format make sense for indexing?  I can only think of two approaches -- either treat the entire 7xx field as a single phrase for indexing, or treat it as a set of hierarchical terms (as in http://beta.freelibrary.org).  In neither case would duplicate |e really facilitate collocation.
