[DCRM-L] RBMS Controlled Vocabularies call for scope note review

[Ryan Hildebrand]

Dear all,

As most now know, the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Subcommittee of the Bibliographic Standards Committee has been engaged in a project to write scope notes for terms lacking them in the Genre Terms thesaurus. We would appreciate your comments on our current draft scope notes, which may be read and commented on here: http://rbms.info/digress/genrescopenotes/. Please see item no. 1 in the blog's table of contents for instructions on commenting. Comments are welcome from now until June 10.

There are five scope notes to consider at present: Libri amicorum, Literary hoaxes, Literary quarrels, Lyric poems, and Masques.

The terms themselves have already been approved, and are included in the current version of the vocabularies: http://www.rbms.info/committees/bibliographic_standards/controlled_vocabularies/index.shtml, but comments are welcome on the scope notes.

Thanks,
Ryan
