Remember that RDA is being optimized as an online tool (with hyperlinks, pop-up definitions, etc., rather than references to "later" or "earlier" sections). Although a print version will be published, the online version will presumably drive the design.

Why not follow the order in AACR2, names first (chapter 22); titles in AACR2 more logically follows in chapter 25. If such an order were adopted by RDA, the RDA document would have sections that would "build" on each other. Gene Fieg Cataloger Claremont School of Theology [EMAIL PROTECTED]
