138. Imprint. A. Order of elements. The imprint is recorded in the catalog entry in the conventional order of place, publisher, date.C. Printer's imprint as a substitute for publisher's imprint. If neither the place of publication nor the publisher is named in the work and the place of printing and the name of the printer are, the latter are used in the imprint.
139. Place of publication. Preliminary note. The place of publication is the place in which the offices of the pub- lisher are located. It is commonly designated on the title pages of his publications, immediately preceding or follow- ing his name.
140. Publisher. A. General rule. The publisher statement appearing on a work is abridged as much as possible without loss of intelligibility or identification of the publisher.
141. Date. A. General rule. An imprint date on the title page is always recorded.F. Date uncertain. If there is no imprint date given in the book and the exact date cannot be ascertained, a date is supplied....

1.4B. General Rule
1.4B1 In this area, record information about the place, name, and date of all types of publishing, distributing, releasing, and issuing activities. For unpublished materials, see 1.4C8
1.4B2 Record information relating to the manufacture of the item in this area.
1.4B3 When more than one place, name, or date is recorded in this area, give them in the order that is appropriate to the item being described.
1.4B4 Give names of places, persons, or bodies as they appear, omitting accompanying prepositions unless case endings would be affected. Use abbreviations as instructed in appendix B
1.4B5 If the original publication details are covered by a label containing publication details relating to a reproduction, reissue, etc., give the publication details of the later publication in this area. Give the publication details of the original in a note if they can be ascertained readily.
1.4B6 If an item is known to have fictitious publication, distribution, etc., details, give them in the conventional order. Supply the real publication, distribution, etc., details as a correction if they are known.

ICP Objectives and Functions of the Catalogue
The catalogue should be an effective and efficient instrument that enables a user:
4.1.1. to find a single resource
4.1.2 to find sets of resources representing: …
• all resources defined by other criteria (language, place of publication, publication date, content type, carrier type, etc.), usually as a secondary limiting of a search result;

What’s to be done?
1. Separate the IDENTIFY and FIND tasks:– Same data cannot support both
2. Replace aggregate elements with simple statement transcribed from source– Production Statement an exception?
3. Use relationships to support collocation– How far can we take this?
4. Propose new elements/instructions to fill gaps– What are the wider implications

I have illustrated the main options in two scenarios

Scenario B (major impact)

www.bl.uk 23
Summary of Scenario A
Transcribe dates in 2.7-2.10– i.e. do not apply instructions for numbers recorded as words,
etc. at RDA 1.8
Deprecate subordinate elements – i.e. Place, Name, Date
Define new elements Date of Manifestation & Place of Manifestation to record controlled form of dates or names of places

Summary of Scenario B
• Transcribe dates in 2.7-2.10– i.e. do not apply instructions for numbers recorded as words,
etc. at RDA 1.8
• Deprecate 2.7-2.10
• New Element 2.7 Issuance Statement
• Deprecate subordinate elements for Place, Name and Date
• Extend model to– Unconstrain Place entity– Add Timespan entity
