Eeek! And I thought I was a nut-case for reading "DNS and BIND" from
cover to cover.
In one paragraph or less, can anyone describe what advantage I would
find in describing a resource with:
DC.Creator = "John and Debra Doe (firm)"
as opposed to
DC.Creator = "Doe, John"
DC.Creator = "Doe, Debra"
In a MARC record, I can understand that you've only got one field to
enter this data in, and you might have restrictions on the number of
characters in a field. AFAIK, there are no such restrictions in DC. You
can repeat DC.Creator as many times as you like. What other reasons are
there for Corporate Authors?
