RDA full draft, General Introduction

| 1 Comment | 0 TrackBacks
0.10:  "Specified elements" refers to the lists of transcribed elements vs. recorded elements and the different ways in which things like numbers and dates are treated in RDA.

0.11:  This instruction allows for alternative vocabularies -- which is what allows use of both codes (treating the MARC code lists as alternative vocabularies) and terms in languages other than English to be recorded.

Wow, those were my only comments on the Introduction.

The first draft of the response is not complete; editing and fine-tuning remain.

This is great that this instruction allows for alternative vocabularies. Useful tip for educational process.
