[DCRM-L] Relationship designators

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Please note that "sponsor" is a designator only for relating persons to corporate bodies (K.2.3)
sponsor A person sponsoring the corporate body.

The closest we get to the function you had in mind is "sponsoring body" (I.2.2)
sponsoring body A person, family, or corporate body sponsoring some aspect of the work, e.g., funding research, sponsoring an event.

And on a minor note, “Sponsor” is only intended for the “Work” level?  Surely there are sponsors of fine press editions and the like which would put them on the “Expression” level as well.  Same with “Artist” who might be associated with a particular expression of a work.

The biggest problem for us is that 'publisher', 'distributor', 'bookseller', &c. are not authorized designators. This is because in the current RDA universe, those particular relationships are indicated by coding in the 264 fields. However, since it is likely that our community will want to lobby for continued use of field 260 because the functions of printer, bookseller, publisher, &c. are not always stated, or the statements are inseparable. If that's the case, we will need to have those relationships added, whether through petitioning JSC, or as a supplemental list.

Ah, that’s a good point Deborah. Taking all of RDA Appendix I into account, my earlier statement was entirely wrong. There are more RDA relationship designators than there are RBMS relator terms. For a quick comparison this morning, I enclose (below) a table, using the RMBS terms as a starting point. The table notes whether the RDA term is intended for a work, expression, manifestation, or item. I’m also including the RBMS and RDA lists as attachments (and hope this doesn’t break any rules).

It looks like RDA has an equivalent for about 30 of our 75 terms; I’m sure some are more truly equivalent than others. At a quick glance, I think most (if not all) of the RBMS terms not yet in RDA would be valid candidates for inclusion. I could see other (non-DCRM) communities making use of them too.

…

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.
