The instruction at 9.4.1.3 is an exact parallel to the instruction at 9.3.1.3, so I think you can apply the same line of reasoning in both instances. There will be times when we record a person's dates or title as a separate data element, times when we record dates or titles as parts of access poin

Good point. Thanks for pointing me to the exceptions. But I agree it's not clear whether in these cases you'd want to record the title at all. Heidrun Arthur Liu wrote: This is just a guess, but could examples of the first case include the exceptions listed under 9.19.1.2? If the titles or

This is just a guess, but could examples of the first case include the exceptions listed under 9.19.1.2? If the titles or designations in those exceptions are not added to the access point, then perhaps they could be included as other elements (e.g. 368) in an authority record. However, the three e

I find it difficult to reconcile the following two RDA instructions concerning titles of nobility: 9.4.1.3 (Recording Titles of Persons) says: "Record titles as separate elements, as parts of access points, or as both." This also refers to titles of nobility (9.4.1.5). So 9.4.1.3 seems to allo
