Since we don't enter parentheses around the series statement or add "ISSN" to it when we create MARC records, I've always assumed it was a convention that the punctuation and text would be provided by the computer when the MARC data was output as card or OPAC display. Since all of the elements in 240 are probably subfielded, couldn't the convention be $f represents parenthesis before the date and at the end of any subsequent text following, and any subfield after $f represents space colon space? (Just as we assume that the 240 tag will tell the program to print brackets at either end of the statement) So your punctuation could be retained if the MARC record was crosswalked to some future MARC replacement if that's a concern. In the Catholic Church. Pope example I don't think the qualifiers are subfielded.

Schiff Sent: Friday, June 01, 2012 4:09 PM To: RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA Subject: Re: [RDA-L] Added elements for expressions It appears that these two examples, Wilde, Oscar, 1854-1900. Works. 2000 Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Works. 2003. Yale University Press while formulated in the same way we have been doing it in AACR2, probably do not conform to the punctuation instructions in E.1.2.5: Enclose a word, phrase, date, or other designation used for conflict resolution in parentheses. Separate a word, phrase, date, or other designation used for conflict resolution from another word, phrase, date, or other designation also used for conflict resolution by a space, colon, space. If these instructions are followed, the examples should be rendered as: Wilde, Oscar, 1854-1900. Works (2000) Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Works (2003 : Yale University Press) John, probably these two examples need to be corrected with fast-track process. Note however, that this change from AACR2 requires many existing authority records to be changed in order to be coded as RDA. Perhaps this is something the JSC needs to have a look at. I don't think this came up on the list of changes needed to AACR2 records when recoding as RDA. I do see that there are indeed two examples illustrating the prescribed punctuation in 6.28.4.4: Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-1827. Ludwig van Beethovens Werke (1862) Authorized access point for the compilation: Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-1827. Works (1862) Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-1827. Ludwig van Beethovens Werke (1949) Authorized access point for the compilation: Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-1827. Works (1949) And also in 6.31.3.2: Catholic Church. Pope (1978-2005 : John Paul II). Vita consecrata. English (Simplified version) Catholic Church. Pope (1978-2005 : John Paul II). Vita consecrata. English (Institute on Religious Life) Authorized access point for the expression: Catholic Church. Pope (1978-2005 : John Paul II). Vita consecrata. English (2004) Catholic Church. Pope. Tutte le encicliche dei sommi pontefici (1940) Authorized access point for the expression: Catholic Church. Pope. Encyclicals. Italian (1940) Catholic Church. Pope. Tutte le encicliche dei sommi pontefici (1959) Authorized access point for the expression: Catholic Church. Pope. Encyclicals. Italian (1959) Catholic Church. Pope. Tutte le encicliche dei sommi pontefici (1964) Authorized access point for the expression: Catholic Church. Pope. Encyclicals.
