After all this talk about German cataloging, I suppose it's time to get back to RDA ;-) The other day we discussed the optional omission for statements of responsibility naming more than three persons, etc. (RDA 2.4.1.5). The general feeling was that although everybody ought to try and follow

I agree with Ben, but would like to point out that the rule about which statement of responsibility is core can get more complicated than just saying it's always the first one. RDA 2.4.2.3 says: If not all statements of responsibility appearing on the source or sources of information are

In RDA 1.4, we read: When recording an element listed above as a supplied element, record the supplied element in the most appropriate language and script. (The elements listed are those that are normally transcribed more or less exactly in the bibliographic description.) Now I was wondering

Paul, RDA is actually quite clear on this matter. In this case (unlike the one I was talking about), it's not a complete element which is supplied, but only a part of it. The basic rule for this can also be found in 1.4 (Language and script): When adding data within an element listed above,

Ben, I think the / should indeed be replaced by a = according to 1.7.3, as it obviously is a case of parallel statements of responsibility (i.e. two different RDA elements). But I'd find it odd to have only Mit Beiträgen von as one of these statements of responsibility. As this is only an

I'm rather puzzled by A.9 myself. As 7.13.2.4 is mentioned as an example, I assume the instruction refers to a number of elements, mostly in chapter 3, which have the word details as part of the element name, e.g.: 3.6.1.4 Details of base materials 3.7.1.4 Details of applied materials 3.9.1.4
