SLC agrees with Robert. It i still on open question whether SLC will use relationship designators; only one client so far has said they want them. It seems a waste of effort to apply them, and then remove them on export. If they are to be supplied, single word designators seem sufficient im most cases. In a record for a video, "$edirector" would seem better, since it is obvious from the record that a motion picture is being described; "$efilme director" seems both redundant and too long for convenient display. The same is even more true for "$ecomposer" vs. "$ecomposer of music for sound film". For an integrated list of shorter terms see: http://special-cataloguing.com/mris/21 __ __ J.
