Have you ever looked in RDA for a relationship designator and couldn't find
one that met your needs?

The PCC Standing Committee on Standards (SCS) has prepared a proposal form
for new (and revised) relationship designators on the PCC website Post RDA
Implementation Guidelines and Standards page:
http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/PCC%20RDA%20guidelines/Post-RDA-Implementatio
n-Guidelines.html.

Right below the form is a link to a newly added table that gives the status
of any proposed terms that are in the pipeline. SCS reviews the proposals
and sends any that they approve to the ALA Representative to the JSC. The
JSC then approves them or not in a separate process. SCS hopes that
providing the status of the terms will be helpful to everyone.  Bear in mind
that these are proposed terms, not terms that have final approval status
from the JSC.  Only terms found in the RDA appendices are allowed to be used
in RDA records.

For the Standing Committee on Standards,
