Editor of Compilation vs Compiler

RDA RELATIONSHIP DESIGNATORS

RDA Relationship Designators : Editor of Compilation vs Compiler 

The editor of a compilation, as defined in I.3.1, is not a creator of a work and thus has to be treated as a 700, not a 100.

On the other hand, a compiler (for example of a dictionary, a directory, a bibliography, etc.) can be considered a creator (see I.2.1) and thus can be treated as a 100.

Expert remarks by Aaron Kuperman, Law Librarian, Library of Congress : A good rule of thumb is that a compilation needs to consist of works that can (and should) be listed in the contents note.

According to RDA Toolkit: I.2.1 Relationship Designators for Creators: 

Compiler : A person, family, or corporate body responsible for creating a new work (e.g., a bibliography, a directory) by selecting, arranging, aggregating, and editing data, information, etc. For a compiler as a contributor, see editor at I.3.1.

According to RDA Toolkit: I.3.1 Relationship Designators for Contributors: 

Editor : A person, family, or corporate body contributing to an expression of a work by revising or clarifying the content, or by selecting and putting together works, or parts of works, by one or more creators. Contributions may include adding an introduction, notes, or other critical matter, or preparing the expression of a work for production, publication, or distribution. For major revisions, adaptations, etc., that substantially change the nature and content of the original work, resulting in a new work, see author at I.2.1.

I.3 - Relationship Designators for Persons, Families, and Corporate Bodies Associated with an Expression

According to RDA Toolkit Release (April 22, 2014):

	Relationship Designators for Contributors
I.3.1	The relationship designator for “editor of compilation” has been deleted, and the concept incorporated into a revised relationship designator for “editor.”

Answer : The relevant RDA rule for this case is 6.2.2.10.2 - Complete Works in a Single Form which prescribes to Record one of the conventional collective titles as the preferred title for a compilation of works that consists of, or purports to be, the complete works of a person, family, or corporate body, in one particular form such as: Correspondence, Novels, Speeches, Lyrics, etc ...

Comment : Remember that 6.2.2.10.2 is not a closed list so you can choose whatever term is appropriate if it’s not already listed there. As this a compilation of Pracanda’s interviews, the 240 is correct. Under RDA, the decision to create a conventional collective title (formerly “uniform title”) based on whether the title proper is adequate or not (as we used to under AACR2, .cf LCRI 25.10) no longer applies.

RDA Terminology

Listed below are some of the main differences in terminology between AACR2 and RDA. Some of the changes reflect our turning away from the catalog card environment, while others reflect terminology in the FRBR/FRAD models and the International Cataloguing Principles.

AACR2	RDA	Notes
heading	authorized access point	“heading” reflects outmoded ‘catalog-card-speak’
author, composer, artist, etc.	creator
main entry	preferred title and, if appropriate, the authorized access point for the creator	“main entry” reflects outmoded ‘catalog-card-speak’, related to cards in a file cabinet
uniform title	Two RDA counterparts: 1.      the preferred title and any differentiating information; 2.      a conventional collective title such as “Works”
see reference	variant access point
see also reference	authorized access point for related entity
physical description	carrier description
general material designator	three elements: 1.      content type 2.      media type 3.      carrier type	GMD was an inconsistent presentation of different categories of information
chief source	preferred sources	This is not only a change in terminology; ‘sources’ have been expanded from a single source to multiple sources

FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Corporate name used as a main entry in a bibliographic record.

According to various cataloging rules, main entry under corporate name is assigned to works that represent the collective thought of a body.

Conference and meeting names that are entered subordinately to a corporate body are contained in this field rather than in field 111.
