2.5.7: Also 2 new examples are about electronic records which have not been discussed yet; perhapsmove rules about states of extent for electronic records?2.5.10: Examples: spell out “megabyte and gigabyte,” etc.2.5.10: add an example for # of floppy discs, CD-Roms, etc.2.5.11: File format as seen in the example seems like information that should go elsewhere in thedescription; however if it was qualified by how many files by that format there are (like in 2.5.5) then itmakes more sense: so “25 pdfs (88 kilobytes)”2.6 Name of Creator(s) Elementp. 37 2 nd paragraph (consider edits in bold): “A collector or compiler of materials by format or subject(e.g. Vietnam War memorabilia … relating to suffragettes), is considered the creator of the collection.”2.6.1: edit “Chapter 9”2.6.3: This rule does not really say the source of the information which would be from the collectionitself, accession paperwork, or outside sources. Really doesn’t make sense to bunt to the devised titlerules2.6.5: place “e.g. creator …” in parenthesis.2.6.7: Q: Why just from the Administrative/Biographical History; why not also from the Scope andContent or elsewhere in the description?2.6.7: example confusing; does not seem to follow format of other examples here2.7 Administrative/Biographical History Elementp. 41 2 nd paragraph in commentary: change “MARC21” to “catalog”Need to update rule numbers from 10 to 2 in several places:2.7.5: point to 2.7.6-2.7.332.7.11: point to 2.7.12-2.7.212.7.22: point to 2.7.23-2.7.334.5: If DACS is format neutral, why is Languages and Scripts of the Material (4.5) a required element?What if you catalogue something that has no language content, such as a pure graphic? Do you have tosupply a note saying: “No language content”?Chapter 6 Related Materials Elements6.2.3.: Dead link in the 4th example. Is it this instead:http://www.mnhs.org/library/Christie/intropage.htmlChapter 7 Notes Element7.1.7 reword last part of sentence from “… that title can be recorded in a note.” to “… record in a note.”or “… record variant title in a note.”Example:Former title: Wisconsin State Sanatorium recordsComment: Name change to Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanatorium (See WisconsinHistorical Society Series 2248)7.1.8 extra space before numberPart II Archival Authority Recordsp. 104,:3 rd point: should this not point to the new chapter 9? I feel like the third step leaves me hangingp. 105, paragraph 3: This 2 nd to last sentence needs to be removed or changed “Rules for achieving thisconsistency are provided in Part III.” As Part III no longer exists in DACS.No mention of EAC-CPF in introduction? I guess this is covered by ISAAR(CPF)p. 124 Definition spelled wrong; extra period after first sentence under Definitionp. 126, under Minimum:● Authorized form of name (see 9.5);● Type of entity (see 9.6);● Dates of existence (see 9.12-9.17); andAction: DACS Revision Page 120 of 158 0113-II-A-DACS
