[DCRM-L] Subdividing Genre Terms

[Ann K.D. Myers]

We have stopped subdividing genre headings in anticipation of the switch to linked data, though we often accept subdivided genre terms in copied records, so it hasn't been a full stop in our local catalog.

Subject: [DCRM-L] Subdividing Genre Terms

For those that made a practice of subdividing genre headings (RBMS, GMGPC terms in particular), are you continuing to do so? Or have you stopped in anticipation of the switch to linked data?

Best,
Will
