Hi Folks, I'm in the midst of attempting some in-house RDA cataloging and could use a hand on relationships. Currently I am cataloging a book called Similes in the Nikayas : a classified index. The book is an extract from the Journal of the Pali Text Society for 1906-1907. I'd like to record the

Thanks for the tips. I forgot to mention the 630 which I did in fact use. As far as Contained in, I got that wording from Appendix J of RDA. I do feel a bit uneasy about that wording though, as this is in fact a separate publication, with a note on the front cover (what I used for the description

Yes, those relationship designations will be a LOT easier for machine processing, they are a great idea. Compared to a note. I suppose that software could just strip out any trailing (work) prior to display. That _probably_ won't strip out anything it shoudln't. And also for that matter,

I added the colons myself. RDA probably doesn’t prescribe them, though I haven’t searched thoroughly. I believe you are referring to the relationship between $4 (relator code) and $e (relator term). $e or $4 is used to show the relationship between a person/family/corporate body and a

And I would still add a note. If we really want to be user-centered, we should compose notes that are easily comprehended by the user and not depend on relators which may or may not be understandable to the patron. Besides, in the old days, notes were used to justify entries. The by-product of
