[DCRM-L] Question about relator term #e depicted

[Will Evans]

When did we start using these relator terms in 6XXs? Is it a common
practice now? Are we to prefer these terms over $v Portraits and $v
Pictorial works?



Best,

Will

If I recall correctly, both "depicted" and "setting" relators were
developed with the intent to parse out these types of relationships from
the subject or "about" relationship. Examples in the MARC21 bibliographic
format documentation for various 6xx fields include examples of "depicted"
with a range of entity types:



60010$aMonroe, Marilyn,$d1926-1962,$edepicted.
[Silkscreen of Marilyn Monroe]

60010$aClovio, Giulio,$d1498-1578,$edepicted.
[Portrait of the miniaturist Giulio Clovio]

61010$aUnited States.$bSupreme Court,$edepicted.

61010$aUnited States.$bArmy.$bCavalry, 7th.$bCompany E,$edepicted.

Allison,



I suppose there’s nothing to stop an agency from using the term in a narrow
sense, e.g. paired only with individual persons.



But taking it as defined, *depicted* can be used with any entity – which
means just about anything goes. An entity can be a person, group of
persons, and so much more (any *thing*, real or fictional). Note also the
MARC relator term *setting*:



*Setting [stg]*  An entity in which the activity or plot of a work takes
place, e.g. a geographic place, a time period, a building, an event



There, examples of entities include “geographic place, a time period, a
building, an event.” It seems normal to me (and useful!) that *depicted*
should also be paired with the same variety of entities.

Hi All:

I just worked with Ellen Cordes at the Lewis Walpole Library for a few days
recently in order to learn how to catalogue graphic materials using DCRMG.

I had a fantastic time and Ellen is a wonderful teacher.

I started to put it into practice when I got back to my library and have
run across a question which Ellen suggested I pose to the list:

It involves the correct usage of the relator term #e depicted.

The definition of the relator term reads:

"Depicted [dpc] -- An entity depicted or portrayed in a work, particularly
in a work of art"

Does the word "entity" have any weight here. Can I use the term with a
group of persons (e.g. Jesuits or Quakers) or can it only apply to a single
person, whether real of fictional?

Thanks for your advice and input.

Best,

Allison
