Change first instance of Signature in glossary to Bibliographic signatures to differentiate between these types of signatures and the autographs of individuals. -AEB
Do we want to split into two (separate entries for "Bibliographic signatures" and "Signatures," or do we want to have the headword "Signatures" with a two part definition, i.e. "1. Author's autograph. 2. Gatherings blah blah"
From the April 2013 meeting notes. Add to glossary:
Majuscule
Miniscule
Brevigraphs (we use the broader term, Abbreviations)
Proofs (don't include promotional proofs; see how DCRM(G) defines it)
Devised title (used to also be called Supplied title)
Secondary support.
From the September 2013 meeting notes. Add to glossary:
Dos-a-dos (used in 7B16.2, first example)
Edition: All identical copies bearing an edition statement on a formal title page and mechanically produced at the same time from the same original master.
Script [add to definition]: "See Writing system."
Edition and Script are in the glossary. I've added this alternative definition of Edition to the one we got from DCRM(G). I did not add dos-a-dos because it is not mentioned anywhere in our text.
Add "Title proper" to Glossary, making use of this wording: In ISBD the first element of the bibliographical description is called the “title proper.” Devised title is one type of title proper; formal title (1C) is another.
Wikipedia's article on "publication" gives the legal definition of it used in U.S. federal law: In the United States, publication is defined as:
the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending. The offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group of persons for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or public display, constitutes publication. A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication.
To perform or display a work "publicly" means –
(1) to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered; or
(2) to transmit or otherwise communicate a performance or display of the work to a place specified by clause (1) or to the public, by means of any device or process, whether the members of the public capable of receiving the performance or display receive it in the same place or in separate places and at the same time or at different times.
—17 USC 101
According to this definition and what we have in the glossary so far, could we define a screenplay issued in multiple copies as a publication rather than a manuscript?
More about title proper: it's in the Glossary of Archival and Records Terminology, which is searchable online, so evidently the term isn't limited to the context of ISBD. The GART's definition of "title proper" is: "The chief name of a work, including any alternative title but excluding parallel titles and other title information."
From the March 2014 meeting notes. Add to glossary:
Series [in the archival sense; the entry in the glossary might work, though it's been marked with strike-through]

Done, though there was a question whether we wanted "Secondary support" in our glossary after all.

From public hearing document a request for "Series" definition. On list but crossed off?

Added this wording to our glossary. Final definition still needs to be worked out.

Not adding for now. We decided on 9/30/14 not to include it, but we can change our minds.
