**IME ICC3 Voting Document**

It is now time to reach agreement on what changes to the draft Statement
of International Cataloguing Principles we wish to propose and to see if
we agree before we forward the proposals to the other participants in
Europe and Latin American/Caribbean region for their vote. This document
is in two parts:

I.  Draft Statement of International Cataloguing Principles

II. Glossary.

\*\*Please indicate whether or not you agree with each of the following
proposals from our IME ICC3 Working Groups. **Your deadline for response
and comment is February 22, 2006 (Wednesday). Indicate yes or no or
abstain. If you wish to add comments or suggest alternatives, please do
so. Send your response as an email attachment - saved version of this
message - to <btil@loc.gov>.**

The resulting "votes" will be posted on this discussion list with any
comments until we reach consensus for a proposed new draft.

### Background to the proposals

[WG 1, Personal Names]{.underline} (Iman Khairy, leader; Khalid Mohamed
Reyad, recorder)

The Group generally approved of the principles as they stand, but they
made suggestions about many of the *Glossary* terms for Arabic
equivalents and additions.

[WG 2, Corporate Bodies]{.underline} (Ali Shaker, leader; Mona Abdel
Kader, recorder)

Regarding principle 5.1.3, Language, they suggested the principle needs
to be clear that "references" refers to reference sources not
cross-references. For principle 5.4.1.1, on Corporate Names, the
majority agreed to keep the wording as is, except to fix a typo ("from"
should be "form"). They noted many local practices differ from this
principle and the rules and it would be time consuming to adhere to the
rule.

[WG 3, Seriality]{.underline} ( Walid Ghali Nasr, leader; Wessam Samir,
recorder)

The Group agreed with the principles.

[WG 4, Uniform Titles and GMD]{.underline} (Nedal Fayez al-Shourbagy,
leader; Mahmoud Rashad, recorder)

For principle 5.5.1.1, Uniform titles, the Group suggested changing the
exception to indicate "in some circumstances the commonly used title in
the language and script of the catalogue should be used rather than the
title found in manifestations or reference sources." The Group felt the
GMD should be mandatory, but the placement of it needs further
discussion.

[WG 5, Multipart Structures]{.underline} (Abderrahim Ameur, leader;
Sherief Ra'ouf, recorder)

The Group generally agreed with the draft principles but commented on
7.1.3 that names of additional creators beyond the first should have no
limits on how many can be provided. This is already provided in the
statement.

I.  Draft Statement of International Cataloguing Principles

1\. The September 2005 draft now reads:

> **5.1.3. Language**
>
> When names have been expressed in several languages, preference should
> be given to a heading based on information found on manifestations of
> the expression in the original language and script; but if the
> original language and script is one not normally used in the
> catalogue, the heading may be based on forms found on manifestations
> or in references in one of the languages and scripts best suited to
> the users of the catalogue.
>
> Access should be provided in the original language and script whenever
> possible, through either the authorized heading or a reference. If
> transliterations are desirable, an international standard for script
> conversion should be followed.

The suggested revision of text would clarify that "references" means
"reference sources" or means "cross-references" as follows:

> **5.1.3. Language**
>
> When names have been expressed in several languages, preference should
> be given to a heading based on information found on manifestations of
> the expression in the original language and script; but if the
> original language and script is one not normally used in the
> catalogue, the heading may be based on forms found on manifestations
> or in reference sources in one of the languages and scripts best
> suited to the users of the catalogue.

Access should be provided in the original language and script whenever
possible, through either the authorized heading or a cross-reference. If
transliterations are desirable, an international standard for script
conversion should be followed.

Do you agree?

2\. The September 2005 draft now reads:

> 5.4.1.1. when the corporate body is part of a jurisdiction or
> territorial authority, the authorized heading should begin with or
> include the currently used form of the name of the territory concerned
> in the language and script best suited to the needs of the users of
> the catalogue;\
> 5.4.1.2. when the corporate name implies subordination, or
> subordinate\
> function, or is insufficient to identify the subordinate body, the\
> authorized heading should begin with the name of the superior body.

The typo was corrected on the September 23, 2005 version as shown above
in red ("from" should be "form"). This will be fixed on the next draft.

Do you agree?

3\. The September 2005 draft now reads:

> **5.5.1.** The uniform title should be the original title or the title
> most frequently found in manifestations of the work except
>
> **5.5.1.1.** when there is a commonly used title in the language and
> script of the catalogue, preference should be given to the commonly
> used title as found in manifestations or reference sources.

The suggested revision of 5.5.1.1 would indicate "in some circumstances
the commonly used title in the language and script of the catalogue
should be used rather than the title found in manifestations or
reference sources" to read as follows:

> **5.5.1.** The uniform title should be the original title or the title
> most frequently found in manifestations of the work except
>
> 5.5.1.1. in some circumstances the commonly used title in the language
> and script of the catalogue should be used rather than the title found
> in manifestations or reference sources.

Do you agree?

4\. The September 2005 draft now reads:

> **7.1.2. [Indispensable]{.underline} access points** are those based
> on the main attributes and relationships of each entity in the
> bibliographic or authority record.
>
> **7.1.2.1.** Indispensable access points for **bibliographic records**
> include:
>
> the name of the creator or first named creator when more than one is
> named
>
> the title proper or supplied title for the manifestation
>
> the year (s) of publication or issuance
>
> the uniform title for the work/expression
>
> subject headings, subject terms
>
> classification numbers
>
> standard numbers, identifiers, and 'key titles' for the described
> entity.

The suggested revision would make the GMD mandatory, as follows:

> **7.1.2. [Indispensable]{.underline} access points** are those based
> on the main attributes and relationships of each entity in the
> bibliographic or authority record.
>
> **7.1.2.1.** Indispensable access points for **bibliographic records**
> include:
>
> the name of the creator or first named creator when more than one is
> named
>
> the title proper or supplied title for the manifestation
>
> the year (s) of publication or issuance
>
> the uniform title for the work/expression
>
> a general material designation
>
> subject headings, subject terms
>
> classification numbers
>
> standard numbers, identifiers, and 'key titles' for the described
> entity.

Do you agree?

II\. GLOSSARY

The following table gives the recommendations from Working Group 1.
Additionally Working Group 2 suggested adding terms for "users of the
catalog" and for "persona" and to delete the term "agent."

Please indicate whether or not you agree by typing in your response in
