Thanks Mac, I may have missed it on the list if there was a discussion that we could use element names as relators. I had RDA-L set to no mail while I was away!
I've been going by the LC RDA training modules and they give the example of publisher: "Publisher" isn't used as an RDA relationship designator because that relationship is an element" although in the notes for the slide it says " However, there are no RDA police who would object if you used a different vocabulary and added a term such as "publisher."" (this is from slide 31 of the Relationships module) But those modules were created in the summer so things may have changed since then! Using $e contributor seems clearer than not including a relator term at all since the 700 tag can contain many types of relationships Alison Alison Hitchens Cataloguing & Metadata Librarian University of Waterloo Library ahitc...@uwaterloo.ca 519-888-4567 x35980 -----Original Message----- From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA] On Behalf Of J.

How about Barbarini, Giorgia,$econtributor.? When one donesn't know what the contribution was, that's a nice catchall. SLC would use $4ctb. As Ben pointed out, "contributor" is not in the Appendix, but we've been told we may use element names as relators. The MRI has a single alphabetic list of terms with that added, and the code list. __ __ J.
