[DCRM-L] Publication (etc.) statements -- BL proposal

[Schneider, Nina]

Francis,

I've finally had a chance to look at this, and think that streamlining the rules for recording publication statements is a great idea. There are likely manifestations that won't fit so neatly into the examples given, but hopefully the full proposal will provide details.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Nina

Subject: [DCRM-L] Publication (etc.) statements -- BL proposal

To kick off the 2014 RDA revision proposal season, I'd like to draw your attention to a discussion paper that Alan Danskin, British Library representative to the JSC, has kindly shared (in preliminary form):

http://www.slainte.org.uk/eurig/docs/EURIG2014/2014_EURIG-AM_presentation_Proposals-for-simplification-of-RDA%202.7-2.10_Danskin.pdf

The proposal suggests a radical (?) rethinking of how we record Publication (etc.) statements. Although I have several small concerns, I think the suggested changes would be a move in the right direction.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this new approach. Assuming that the discussion paper goes through the standard channels, CC:DA will prepare a response to it in late summer. The Powerpoint linked here is just a summary; the full proposal will presumably have more details.

Best,
Francis

RBMS/BSC Liaison to CC:DA
