Yes,
I would welcome that kind of information especially as chair of a
cataloging standards committee to the consortium my library belongs to.

with addressing these types of issues so I think I should pop in here and

Greetings, Karen and everyone.
No need to retreat to your corner, Karen. That's an excellent idea. We do

Just a quick note - gender as an element comes from FRAD and the French (and

One more question. I'm tracking RDA for my organization and reporting
back key developments, any known timelines and deadlines that are
available, vendor actions, FRBR, the DC working group, etc. Before I
reinvent the wheel, is there any one spot that is already consolidating
this information?

That in a nutshell is a big part of the problem. Providing just four
gender categories is itself a statement about gender.
I came to this discussion e
And of course we can continue to include such information in a 670 when
known and it seems likely to be helpful in distinguishing one author from

I wonder if JSC has considered that in catalogues with a non roman

Evidently German and French records include that data element because
it determines the gramatical forms used in conjuction with the name.
