[DCRM-L] Transcription of imprint with publisher and printer

[Lapka, Francis]

Richard,

I think you are free to record the most direct possible transcription (i.e. use one 264 instead of two).

Parsing the transcription into component parts does more harm than good, since it hinders representation of the text as it appears. The discussion paper put forward by the British Library rep. to the JSC last year (http://www.rda-jsc.org/working2.html#bl-rep-61) holds promise for a fix. We can expect a follow-up to that discussion paper this summer.

Subject: [DCRM-L] Transcription of imprint with publisher and printer

A question that doesn't seem to be addressed in the rare materials notes of PCC RDA BIBCO Standard Record (BSR)
Metadata Application Profile: Being inclined to the most direct possible transcription, should I nevertheless parcel out the information in the imprint of E. Acharius, Methodus qua omnes detectos lichenes (1803)

into separate 264 b1 and 264 b3, with a bracketed place name in the latter? I'll still feel constrained to note the transposition/fragmentation. If the printer were definitely subordinated on the title page or in a colophon, of course I'd use the two fields, but here he's equally weighted, so to speak, and I'm influenced by our old practice of keeping the whole thing together in such cases as 260 with two b subfields.

Thanks -
