6JSC/ALA/42
23 July 2015

Clarify Sources of Information for Statement of Responsibility Relating to Title Proper (RDA 2.4.2.2, etc.)

Abstract: Modify RDA 2.4.2.2 (Sources of Information – Statement of Responsibility Relating to Title
Proper) and 2.4.2.3 (Recording Statements of Responsibility Relating to Title Proper) to clarify
how to present fuller and/or additional statements of responsibility that do not appear on the

ALA Proposal: Additional instructions in Chapter 27 for Structured Descriptions of the “Contained in” and “Container of” Relationships

6JSC/ALA/41
1 August 2015

Additional instructions in Chapter 27 for Structured Descriptions of the “Contained
in” and “Container of” Relationships

Related documents:
6JSC/ALA/Discussion/3, Instructions for Recording Relationships
6JSC/ALA/45, Referential relationships: RDA Chapter 24-28 and Appendix J

 

Abstract: This proposal seeks to accomplish two things: (a) it satisfies the need for explicit instructions for
recording contents notes as structured descriptions of the container of relationship; and (b) it
provides a general structure for describing relationships. This general structure could be
extended by adding specific instructions for other types of relationships, as needed.

Abstract: Revise RDA 3.1.4, Resources Consisting of More than One Carrier Type, to accommodate resources and accompanying material that share the same carrier type and to generalize the alternative instruction to describe the predominant carrier (or the most substantial carriers). Make supporting changes to RDA 3.4.1.3, Recording Extent
