Excellent! Good job, RDA. :) I think what Daniel describes makes sense.

The “parts” making up a uniform title in AACR2 (e.g., basic title, additions, subdivisions) have been defined in RDA as separate elements (Preferred title for the work, Date of work, Other distinguishing characteristic of the work, Content type, Language of expression, etc.). In these conditions, I doubt that cataloguers could use the “Preferred title for the work” for other reasons than to name the work. Cataloguers will continue to be able to collocate and distinguish works and expressions, though, by combining these elements in authorized access points or as elements in work records. The other uses fulfilled by uniform titles in AACR2 will still be possible in RDA, without confusing the data model.

Especially by music catalogers. Either those uses are going to be left un-filled by RDA.... or these catalogers are going to continue using the "title of work" to do things that aren't about naming the title of the work at all. Probably the latter. Which will just confuse things even more in our data model, not less. Jonathan
