My understanding is that: If the illustrations are integral to the work, the person who drew/painted them is a creator, or co-creator, and so the relationship designator should be artist. If the illustrations are complementary to the work, and belong at expression level (they contribute to the

The distinction between “artist” and “illustrator” currently exists in the choices for main entry heading. Catalogers have to know that an artist can be a main entry heading, and an illustrator can only be an added entry. The distinction comes down to knowing what is the work and what is the

Good point, and what often gets short shrift is the importance of applying the logic of the user tasks. If the data doesn't help to find, identify, select or obtain a resource, then it's not bibliographically relevant. Beyond that, there is scaling effect in RDA, where essential elements are

I agree with Chris and Thomas on this: the purpose of the 800 field is to indicate the relationship of the work being described to a related work (the series it is in). Just as the purpose of an analytical 700 is to reference a related work (e.g., based on) 25.1.1.3 tells us there are three ways

Agreed, Chris. The MARC 800/810/811/830 already conveys the designator in series (work) so adding the designator would be redundant. One alternative in MARC would be to use the 7XX for related work, in which case the relationship designator WOULD be useful: 700 1_ $i In series (work): $a
