DCMR(C) - Dedications

When working on Transcription, I found that the RBMS PS had some instructions re: dedications at RBMS PS 2.3.4.1 that are no longer present in DCRMR. (The RBMS PS instructions for transcription had a reference to the instructions at 2.3.4.1.)

Michelle provided the following context:

The DCRM Steering Group (body that was reconciling differences between the different DCRM modules) discussed in 2014 some changes to treat dedications due to recommendations brought up by Cartographics. Ultimately, Cartographics was granted a format exception to record grammatically inseparable dedications in a note versus other title information.

http://dcrmsteeringgroup.pbworks.com/w/page/75430316/Discussion%20topic%3A%20Dedications The RBMS PS did include a mock-up of how dedications are treated differently for cartographic and graphics (which had format specific reason to adopt C’s treats.) versus books https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lsD58Nb0dmVYe_VRqYVunqcby0VsoqZZOoiM-Twonoo/edit#bookmark=id.gkfwock3owi1 Since for books dedications on title pages are not silently omitted, they are not called out in DCRMB4 0G5.2. (See DCRM errata http://dcrmedits.pbworks.com/w/page/69463439/Area%200%20errata and DCRMB4 Issues http://dcrmedits.pbworks.com/w/page/135454965/Issues%3A%20DCRMB4)

When future DCRM manuals are incorporated with DCRMR, the instructions for dedications in the RBMS PS will likely need to be re-visited/re-integrated.
