Hi there! Please excuse the cross-posting. >From the PCC Guidelines for the 264 Field, I am hoping that someone can please explain why the 264 _4 $c ©2009 does not end in a full stop? I realize that there is a copyright symbol, but I missed the point of exactly why there is no ending full stop.

Re: [RDA-L] Syntax for relationship designators

My reasoning is far from authoritative, but I believe it's not an RDA decision, really. If you look at chapter 18, there's nothing about how you represent the relationship term in the record. The examples in 18.5.1.3. just have the terms. I'm guessing it came down to whoever decided how to impl

[RDA-L] Syntax for relationship designators

Could someone please explain the rational of either including or not including the comma before the relationship designator. We have found names with either no dates or with closed dates using the comma. While names with open dates are not using the comma. Our Web team dislikes the inconsistency
