Some during the test period interpreted RDA to mean DVDs have no statement of responsibility (apart from "a film by Tom Jones"). with all noncast credits in 508. Motion pictures, like serials, encyclopedias, etc., are works of mixed responsibility. I makes for a cluttered display to select some for 245. At the beginning of RDA creation, statement of responsibility was not a core element. Motion picture (DVD etc.) cataloguers objected to its being a core element. An easier solution is the mixed responsibility one. Statement of responsibility is only core if applicable. __ __ J.
