Hi Bernadette Yes, I agree. What I'm missing (and I keep looking for it, believe me), is a definition of what counts as creation and what doesn't where editing is concerned? Help! Obviously, someone who "edits" a bibliography is a creator. But beyond that, I'm not sure exactly what RDA is saying. I know what FRBR is saying, but I'm obviously failing to find the relevant bit of RDA.
