[DCRM-L] Relationship designators

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Down the road, the BSC will want to consider whether to propose all our terms to RDA and abandon keeping a separate list; perhaps only keeping a supplemental list if any of our terms are rejected. At a quick skim, I'm finding the definitions quite good. For example:
etcher A person, family, or corporate body involved in manufacturing a manifestation by subjecting metal, glass, or some other surface used for printing, to acid or another corrosive substance. [I.4.1]

On the other hand, I'm scratching my head over this one: What does it mean for an item to be "dedicated" to someone?
dedicatee of item A person, family, or corporate body to whom an item is dedicated. [I.5.2]

For those not yet plunged into the RDA deep end: the lists of relationship designators are contained in several appendixes, and are specific in identifying whether the relationship is to the work, the expression, the manifestation, or the item.

John,

What counts as “missing?” The RBMS list of relator terms is much larger than RDA’s list relationship designators. Are some of these worthy of inclusion on the RDA list (Fast Tracked perhaps), and others not?

Francis
