I agree, after the discussion here today, that $e author seems correct for him (I don't think that's what I did). >Sponsoring body was the best I could up with for National Archives as a >710$e, though I felt it wasn't completely right. I agree sponsoring body is defined as "sponsoring some aspect of the work, e.g., funding research, sponsoring an event" whereas we have no information to support that and "issuing body" seems restricted to works that are "official organs of the body". However, I've just been reading through the BL workflow in the Toolkit where it says that: " "Publisher", "Distributor", "Manufacturer", "Creator" and "Contributor" are all elements in RDA, and the vocabularies specified in appendix I are refinements of these elements. Therefore, they may be used as relationship designators where necessary. "Issuing body" should only be used in cases where a publication can be regarded as the official organ of that body from the perspective of BL application." So think I'd go with "publisher" here. Also, Helen was quite right, App I isn't a closed list. I notice BL staff can use an appropriate term but are notifying someone when they do so. I feel we shouldn't just randomly assign terms as relationship designators without reporting that there might be a need to expand the list of terms in App I, a mechanism for doing this would be useful (probably already exists).
