I think you could use Project director from the MARC CodeLlist for Relators. The definition is as follows Use for a person or organization with primary responsibility for all essential aspects of a project, or that manages a very large project that demands senior level responsibility, or that

in RDA there is only a possbility to add punctuation, but not to change it. It seems to me that since the full-stop is used in ISBD to separate Title proper from Part/section title, it can be considered punctuation on the source that separates data to be recorded as one element from data to

I agree that the main instructions in RDA would have you retain the periods, but there is an alternative in 1.7.1 that allows a cataloging agency to use other guidelines. -- John Hostage Authorities and Database Integrity Librarian // Harvard

I agree with Ben's interpretation of the instruction, i.e., a period is separating punctuation and so is omitted, and then other punctuation is added for clarity; so no need to invoke the 1.7.1 alternative. Although, technically, the parts of a title proper are considered part of the Title Proper

My earlier justification for replacing periods with commas is perhaps a bit too clever. Though in ISBD, I agree, it's pretty unambiguous that both title and part-title (or, dependent title) are part of the same ISBD element title proper (they are sub-elements though ISBD doesn't use that
