This real life experience very much accords with our internal
experiments. We have come up with a simplified relator term list* in one
alphabetic order, in case we *have* to use them, but we hope not.
Some RDA terms are too long for conventient display.
While relator terms are fairly problem free for a simple printed book,
simple printed books are a small minority of what SLC catalogues (records
for most of those are available from the national cataloguing
agencies).
We catalogue law reform commission reports for law firm libraries. A
report which contains official recommendations of the commission is
entered under the commission. A report which is informational only is
entered under personal author or title. What would be the relator
term(s) used for that 110 and 710? Different or the same? "Issuing
body" for both? Usually the commission is also the publisher.
What $e term would be used after a 111? We do many law symposia.
It seems to me many theorists lack the practical experience of Billie
and Christopher.
