<div dir="ltr">Good people of the Heb-NACO-sphere:<div><br></div><div>As I've been reviewing the draft of the HC RDA, something keeps popping up with regard to the structure of 245's with parallel titles, to wit:</div>
<div><br></div><div>A. p.43 Emek ha-shaveh = $b Emek hashave : mahzor shirim</div><div><br></div><div>structurally, that's 245##$a [romanized] = $b [parallel $a] : [romanized sub title]</div><div><br></div><div>I've seen this construction before and it has pleased me not one bit, and I doubt that I'm alone. </div>
<div><br></div><div>A formulation that I like much better because it more closely approximates my algebraic approach to cataloging:</div><div><br clear="all"><div>B 245## Emek ha-shaveh : $b mahzor shirim = Emek hashave* </div>
<div><br></div><div>The Bob-pleasing structure is</div><div><br></div><div>245## [$a romanized] : [$b rom. sub.] = [parallel of $a]* </div><div><br></div><div>My questions:</div><div><br></div><div>1) Is structure A endorsed anywhere in RDA explicitly?</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) Is the choice of structures a matter of cataloger's judgement?</div><div><br></div><div>*I'll have you know that I would shamelessly include the parallel sub-title as well.<br></div><div><br>
