I had just noticed yesterday, when I was looking at additions to uniform titles for expressions of multiple translations into the same language, the problems Adam pointed out in his email (I'm behind in my reading, as usual).

However, I also noticed that E.1.2.5 says:

Precede a general material designation by a full stop and a space.

Shouldn't that be Precede content type by a full stop and a space [or similar wording], since GMDs don't exist in RDA?

(The corresponding example in 6.27.3 would be:

Brunhoff, Jean de, 1899-1937. Babar en famille. English. Spoken word

where "Spoken word" is not a GMD.)

I'm assuming this would also be a candidate for "fast-track" correction.

It appears that these two examples,

Wilde, Oscar, 1854-1900. Works. 2000
Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Works. 2003. Yale University Press

while formulated in the same way we have been doing it in AACR2, probably do not conform to the punctuation instructions in E.1.2.5:

Enclose a word, phrase, date, or other designation used for conflict resolution in parentheses.

Separate a word, phrase, date, or other designation used for conflict resolution from another word, phrase, date, or other designation also used for conflict resolution by a space, colon, space.

If these instructions are followed, the examples should be rendered as:

Wilde, Oscar, 1854-1900. Works (2000)
Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Works (2003 : Yale University Press)

John, probably these two examples need to be corrected with fast-track process.

Note however, that this change from AACR2 requires many existing authority records to be changed in order to be coded as RDA. Perhaps this is something the JSC needs to have a look at. I don't think this came up on the list of changes needed to AACR2 records when recoding as RDA.

I do see that there are indeed two examples illustrating the prescribed punctuation in 6.28.4.4:

Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-1827. Ludwig van Beethovens Werke (1862)
Authorized access point for the compilation: Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-1827. Works (1862)

Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-1827. Ludwig van Beethovens Werke (1949)
Authorized access point for the compilation: Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-1827. Works (1949)

And also in 6.31.3.2:

Catholic Church. Pope (1978-2005 : John Paul II). Vita consecrata. English (Simplified version) Catholic Church. Pope (1978-2005 : John Paul II). Vita consecrata. English (Institute on Religious Life) Authorized access point for the expression: Catholic Church. Pope (1978-2005 : John Paul II). Vita consecrata. English (2004)

Catholic Church. Pope. Tutte le encicliche dei sommi pontefici (1940)
Authorized access point for the expression: Catholic Church. Pope. Encyclicals. Italian (1940)

Catholic Church. Pope. Tutte le encicliche dei sommi pontefici (1959)
Authorized access point for the expression: Catholic Church. Pope. Encyclicals. Italian (1959)

Catholic Church. Pope. Tutte le encicliche dei sommi pontefici (1964)
Authorized access point for the expression: Catholic Church. Pope. Encyclicals. Italian (1964)

See Appendix E.1.1  Presentation of Access Points.  There is a section called "Uniform Titles" (presumably because
this is an attempt to reflect the punctuation in AACR2 Chapter 25).

      Subject: [RDA-L] Added elements for expressions

      Hallo



In the near future I will need to draft some guidelines for colleagues who will be using RDA with ISBD and MARC21.  Most of them are multi-skilled and do fairly small amounts of cataloguing, so the training has to be quick and simple.  I will have to include guidelines for creating RDA headings in bibliographic records for entities for which there is no NACO record.  (We do not create new NACO
      records for minor works or contributors.)



I haven?t been able to find any rules about which additions to Expression records should be in parentheses and which should follow a full stop.  The examples (6.27.3) show most additions, including publisher, after a full stop but some (translator, text version, choreographer) in parentheses.  (I was actually quite surprised to find that a new choreography was regarded as only an Expression-level distinction.) Appendix E does not specify punctuation for Other Distinguishing Characteristics of the Expression.  I have glanced through the PCC NACO training slides, but didn?t find anything about this.



      Please could someone tell me where I should look for a rule?



      Many thanks,

      Bernadette
