[DCRM-L] RBMS PS Review Q1: Core Elements

[Mascaro, Michelle]

The first question for RBMS PS review is which RDA elements should be identified as core for rare materials? The list in RDA proper is relatively short and there are rumblings that in the future there will be no list of core elements in RDA proper and specialist communities will be responsible for establishing their own lists.

Questions for discussion (please respond to the list):

*         Should all transcribed elements be core?

*         Is the proposed RBMS PS list of core elements (see list below) appropriate? Are they are elements that should be added or deleted?

*         Should any item attribute or relationship be core?

The current draft of the RBMS PS proposes the following list of core manifestation elements:

Title

*         Title proper

*         Parallel title proper

*         Other title information

*         Parallel other title information

*         Earlier title proper (for serials)

*         Later title proper (for serials)

Attached is the RBMS PS for the chapter 0 for additional context and background to the RBMS PS.  The RBMS PS were written to be read in tandem with the RDA proper instruction they correspond to, and consequentially some individual PSs may not make sense without referring to the original RDA instruction.
