So in this regard it's exactly like AACR2?? Somehow while the short explanation given here is clear, I must admit what the RDA says is confusing to me. Jack

Schiff" <asch...@u.washington.edu> 10/4/2012 5:57 PM >>> Editors are not considered creators in RDA, nor are they considered other persons, families, or corporate bodies associated with the work, so they cannot be tagged in 1XX. RDA 20.2 says: A contributor is a person, family, or corporate body contributing to the realization of a work through an expression. Contributors include editors, translators, arrangers of music, performers, etc. RDA 6.27 deals with constructing access points for works (i.e. naming works), and it states clearly that you name a work that has entities responsible for creating it (covered in chapter 19, which doesn't include editors), by combining the access point for the creator(s) with the preferred title for a work. Since editors are not creators, they can't be given in 1XX because the 1XX is the first part of the authorized access point in bib. records. 6.27.1.4 also makes clear that edited works are named using their title only: If the work is a compilation of works by different persons, families, or corporate bodies, construct the authorized access point representing the work using the preferred title for the compilation, formulated according to the instructions given under 6.2.2. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Adam L.
