Thanks Anne
This is very helpful. Do you have any thoughts for those of us who might be importing some of our records, and creating others from scratch. If we import without relationship designators do you think we should add them for consistency in our catalogues?

I think the relationship designator question is significant. While a human can infer authorship unless something else is stated, a computer needs statements to be explicit and this will help in any future data manipulation. So, ugly as it looks, I think it's a good idea to include it. Plus, there's the whole issue that in a world without preference for books or text (which RDA aims to be), the default responsibility shouldn't be so text-creator-sepcific as author ;)

Subject: [CIG-E-FORUM] Discussion of record 2
Thank you to everyone who has submitted a version of record 2.
It©ös time to open up discussion on anything you©öd like to raise. It©ös going to be very useful to talk about the differences we see in records, and on some issues we may be able to come to consensus, while other areas will remain open to interpretation! Any comments we make won©öt be criticisms of differences in records, so please feel free to discuss.
A few things I©öve noticed to start us off?
*some of us have included a second 264 field with a ? date
* some of us (including me!) have included a relationship designator of Œauthor©ö ¡© what©ös the feeling about whether this is necessary on a straightforward record?
* A few people have included related works/manifestations
Plenty of other differences too, so let©ös open the discussion
