Thanks, Mac and Deborah
Interesting to get two such different answers, both with much to be said
for them.
RDA does have the concept of 'supplementary content' (e.g. indexes,
bibliographies, appendices), and such content is presumably irrelevant
to whether the resource is treated as single-work

I'm looking at http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd347.html and the first
example under $b is
347
##$atext file$bPDF$2rda
so I'm a little confused as to what you mean when you say a PDF file is not a
text file. What am I missing?

Yes, that makes sense. As John Hostage said the text would be more accurately
be identified as document so the MARC example is off.

I'm saying that the example in the MARC format is in error. RDA seems to be
using text file to mean any computer file that contains text, including
binary files, but that conflicts with the normal meaning of text file. A
typical PDF file is comprehended by Content type: text and Media type:
So who should be contacted to change the erroneous example? And who has the
juice to influence those responsible to effect the change?

I agree with John. Just to add: most file formats have already been defined
and tagged outside of the cataloging community (see, for starters:

Shorten, Jay would like to recall the message, [RDA-L] Size of PDF files.
What about using the 256 field? I know it has been deprecated in AACR2, but it
seems to have been restored for RDA, as the MARC Bibliographic to RDA Mapping
in the tools for 3.19.4 leads to the 256 field. Though if I can continue to use
the 300, that’s great.
