[DCRM-L] DCRM(M) questions

[Laurence S. Creider]

What the note says is to consult the particular page for details.  Nancy
has probably outlined what those instructions should be for DCRM(M). Those
should probably be included in the web page (http://rbms.info/dcrm/rda/)
giving instructions on what to do with the different modules.
FWIW, I agree with Nina, that we should to have the note until such time
as a DCRM compliant with RDA has been finshed. RDA is still a moving
target, and there will be times when DCRM(M,B,S,C,G), and the BSR are out
of sync.

P.S. I do think we need to get rid of any notion that RDA is an ending
point.  We will continue to have to respond to newer and probably more
foreign ways of packaging the information our patrons need.
