[RDA-L] Difference between Introduction and Preface

2013-08-05 Thread Chalmers, Duncan
I see that the relationship designators writer of introduction and writer of preface have been fast tracked into RDA Appendix I. However, nowhere in RDA can I see an explanation of what an introduction is and what a preface is. It may be that the unwritten assumption is that a preface is by

I think the point that was being made--and with which I was agreeing--is that sometimes too much specificity isn't really that helpful. In other words, it is nice there is a higher-level designator but have we gone too far in some lower-level designators? In most cases the very specific
