The ISBD consolidated edition defines it as “other title information introducing the title proper, and occurring above the title proper on the prescribed source of information for the title and statement of responsibility area.” Sounds sort of like “Evaluation of pilot project” in the other thread.

I consider it’s ironic to have words like this in RDA Toolkit. --angelina 2.3.4.1 Scope Other title information▼<http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=rdagloss&target=rdagloss-1316#rdagloss-1316> is information that appears in conjunction with, and is subordinate to, the title proper of a resource. Other title information may include any phrase appearing with a title proper that is indicative of the character, contents, etc., of the resource or the motives for, or occasion of, its production, publication, etc. Other title information includes subtitles, avant-titres, etc., but does not include variations on the title proper such as spine titles, sleeve titles, etc. (see 2.3.6[http://access.rdatoolkit.org/images/rdalink.png]<http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=rdachp2&target=rda2-4004#rda2-4004>) or designations and/or names of parts, sections, or supplements (see 2.3.1.7[http://access.rdatoolkit.org/images/rdalink.png]<http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=rdachp2&target=rda2-3328#rda2-3328>).
